Edgard Morin rethinks fundamental problems overlooked or neglected in education, and
presents them as" seven complex lessons" that should be covered in an education of the
future in all societies in every culture, according to means and rules appropriate to each.
With the publication of this provocative essay, UNESCO hopes to stimulate discussion on
how education can and should act as a force for the future and promote a transdisciplinary
perspective to meet the great challenge of durable development.
