Prestigious philosopher and sociologist, Edgar Morin last week spoke at a seminar on “Today’s Ethics between Theory and Practice” organised by the Research Center for Islamic Legislation and Ethics (CILE).
The event took place last Tuesday October 29th at GeorgeTown University in Qatar and was attended by senior academics and philosophers. The seminar took the form of a discussion between Dr. Tariq Ramadan, CILE’s Executive Director, and the eminent French philosopher who spoke about the most pressing ethical challenges of today’s world. Issues such as the importance of international human rights and the role of ethics in establishing societies and relationships were covered.
Edgar Morin is one of the most famous philosophers of our time. He developed the theory of “complexity” and strategy of complex thought and he is a leading theorist of the interdisciplinary approach.
The seminar was part of a series of public events organised by CILE throughout the academic year in different disciplines including economics, politics, arts, media, environment, bioethics, psychology, methodology, and gender studies. The aim of these events is to deepen the discussion on new issues and provide ethical approaches and solutions.
