Au départ, je souhaitais d'analyser...

Los mayores desafíos de la humanidad actual se arraigan en las múltiples e intrincadas relaciones entre nuestra sociedad y el mundo natural. Y a esta complejidad inherente —que emerge de las intersecciones de la física con la biología, la psicología, la sociología y la economía, entre otras disciplinas—, se suma el ser esquiva al razonamiento intuitivo. De ahí la importancia de contar con herramientas teóricas y técnicas que permitan...
