according to alfonso montuori in "edgar morin: a partial introduction" "the 6 volume method is perhaps morin’s culminating work, a remarkable and seemingly inexhaustible treasure trove of insights, reflection, and a real manual for those who are interested in broadening the nature of human inquiry. drawing on cybernetics, information theory, systems theory, but also integrating all the work he has done before, from the work on imagination in his research on movies to his profound reflections on death, method integrates morin’s journey and provides the reader with an alternative to the traditional assumptions and method of inquiry of our time."
