Descripción:This essay is based on Edgar Morin’s Theory of Complex Thinking andaddresses the need to integrate this perspective with planetary ethics andlove as the foundation of transformative education. The author arguesthat human beings simultaneously constitute an individual, a society,and a species, which entails interconnected ethical responsibilities thattranscend borders. From this perspective, the essay examines the breakdownof traditional paradigms and proposes a renewed vision of learninggrounded in The Seven Complex Lessons in Education for the Future,aimed at fostering critical citizens capable of overcoming material ambition,selfishness, and the double standards that prevail in contemporarysociety. The essay emphasizes the role of teachers as an act of serviceand ethical coherence, in which actions must reflect what is taught in orderto counter vanity and abuses of power. Finally, it reaffirms the need foruniversal access to education as a moral imperative to eradicate injusticeand to build a peaceful, supportive, and deeply humane coexistence.
