Complex Systems: from the Presocratics to Pension Funds
Résumé
Complexity, as investigated in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and the humanities requires new modes of thinking, beyond the mechanistic and reductionist standards. We investigate it mostly from a philosophical point of view, tracing back some of the relevant questions to Greek philosophers. Examples are taken from probability, economics and finance to feature typical phenomena. We detail in particular the one of defined benefit pension funds that points out at various important issues in contemporary finance and economics.
