His Majesty King Mohammed VI has sent a message of condolences and compassion to the family of the late Edgar Morin.
In this message, the Sovereign states that He learned with deep emotion and sadness of the passing of Edgar Morin, a towering figure of universal thought, a sociologist and philosopher who embodied a humanist conscience that will leave a lasting mark, that of an eminent intellectual voice offering a bright and generous perspective on the complexity of the world.
“Edgar Morin nurtured a deep attachment to Morocco, where he forged enduring friendships. He was fond of recalling Morocco’s historical roots and praised a Civilization that had revived the “We” in a world weakened by the temptations of insularity and the illusions of denying the Other,” the message reads.
His Majesty the King recalls that the deceased generously shared his ideas during meetings held in Morocco and elsewhere within the most prestigious institutions, adding that his intellectual authority and warm personality marked entire generations of thinkers and students.
“All those who had the honor of knowing him hold him in special esteem and affection, and they will never forget him,” the Sovereign underscores.
