Edgar Morin - a marginalitás életelve
Edgar Morin – the Principle of Marginality

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the scientific journey of Edgar Morin, a French philosopher and sociologist. The central feature of his work is a certain sense of marginality, which is present in five major fields. First of all, Morin considered himself as an outsider in the French academic field, secondly, in the disciplines of social science as an academic, thirdly, as a cultural critic, and finally, under an ideological and an ethnical perspective, as an intellectual and French citizen. As a conclusion, the authors consider that this marginality is due to a specific global perspective and overall vision about the place that science can play nowadays, according to Morin.
