French philosopher and sociologist Edgar Morin passed away in Paris at the age of 104. Morin's wife Sabah Abouessalam gave the news of his death to Le Monde newspaper. Born in Paris in 1921, Morin took part in the resistance against the Nazi occupation during World War II and conducted significant studies in sociology, philosophy, and political science for many years. Morin was especially known for his "complex thought" approach, which evaluates humans, society, and nature as a whole. Additionally, Morin had declared his support for the peace and democratic transformation process in Turkey, stating that he was in favor of the unity of the Turkish and Kurdish peoples. Emphasizing that peace is about being able to speak freely, Morin called for peace from a perspective that rejects violence. Morin held honorary doctorate degrees from 38 universities worldwide and served for many years at the French National Center for Scientific Research. His death resonated widely in France and international intellectual circles.
