Popis: With respect to sustainable development, two currently applicable paradigms need to be challenged. The first one is about how to model the complex world we live in. The Cartesian-Newtonian way of thinking (after Rene Descartes and Isaac Newton) is still dominant. Cartesian-Newtonian thinking, also known as analytical thinking, is based on the premise that a complex problem can be reduced to a set of separate smaller problems. By understanding this set of smaller problems, we can understand the complex problem.
