In fact, in their day, William of Ockham and Ren Descartes proposed what can best be described as reductionist methods for dealing with it.\n\n Over the course of the twentieth century, a science of complexity has emerged in an ever-increasing number of fields (computer science, artificial intelligence, engineering, among others), and has now become an integral part of everyday life. As a result, everyone is confronted with increasingly complex situations that need to be understood and analyzed from a global perspective, to ensure the sustainability of our common future.\n\n Complexities 1 analyzes how complexity is understood and dealt with in.
