Education and the Future of Human Identity According to Edgar Morin

Abstract

This study revolves around the educational project of French philosopher Edgar Morin, in which he seeks to explore a better future for humanity. He worked on establishing foundations that should be present in every educational system. His book, "Education for the Future," stands as one of Morin's significant contributions to education, recognized by UNESCO, as it represents a deep inquiry into the field of education. Through this book, Morin attempted to theorize a global educational system based on a set of essential principles that every future-oriented education should possess in order to gain legitimacy. In his view, the educational system goes beyond the mere transmission of knowledge; it aims to achieve human dimensions, namely the formation of individuals capable of keeping pace with the demands of the era and confronting its diverse and multifaceted problems.
