this interview, Professor Edgar Morin presents new topics for debate, as well as a number of reflections and concerns about what university education in the 20th century means. There is deep concern about the need to put an end to the university model of the 19th century, which favors the fragmentation of knowledge and disciplines, from academic and administrative structures that deny integration, complexity, and interdisciplinarity of contemporary knowledge. Morin insists that today’s university must focus on educating “planetary citizens” who are able to think about and interact with new problems and epistemologies of our current society. He also insists that universities should educate for life, for the making of sense, for passion and for changing the world. This implies education in three analytic and transversal dimensions: a) New universal/local problems; b) New epistemologies produced and provided by contemporary society; and c) the “civilizing knowledge” that constitutes modern, planetary, integrated and complex societies. |
