Sinopse

" In Knowledge, Ignorance, Mystery , Edgar Morin, one of the greatest thinkers of our time, explores the big questions and provides answers to guide us into the 21st century.

“He who increases his knowledge increases his ignorance,” said Friedrich Schlegel.

“I live more and more with the awareness and feeling of the presence of the unknown in the known, of the enigma in the banal, of the mystery in all things and, in particular, of the advances of mystery in all advances of knowledge,” says Edgar Morin.

Armed with his long experience as a researcher and reader of human beings, Morin speaks about the need to transcend disciplines whose segmentation limits the understanding of living phenomena and explores, in this book, new territories of knowledge, where an inseparable trinity is revealed: knowledge, ignorance, mystery.

In his eyes, mystery in no way devalues the knowledge that leads to it. It makes us aware of the hidden powers that control and possess us, like demons within and without. But above all, it stimulates and strengthens the poetic sense of existence.

His thesis is reinforced by the inclusion of quotations taken from the works of various authors and thinkers, both classical and contemporary, such as Pascal, Victor Hugo, Schopenhauer, Dostoevsky, Heraclitus, Cassé, Halévy and many others.

Knowledge, Ignorance, Mystery is a profound essay on the limits of knowledge, of the human being, and a reflection on the mystery that humanity carries within itself."
