Through his spellbinding, fluid and complicit speech, Edgar Morin traces new ways of entering words. He is a smuggler of knowledge neither mutilated nor compartmentalized, able to grasp the complexity of the real, which preserves us illusory knowledge, by making us drop our blinders. Each situation becomes a resource: sensuality, friendship, risk, science, politics, poetry, coexisting, struggle and ends up harmoniously intertwined in the thinker's thinking about the world. In this intimate self-portrait, Edgar Morin gives us the clutches of his thought which, throughout his life, have determined the construction of his impulses, his convictions and his struggles.
