Franco Gori – författare

Im Rahmen der ersten kritischen Edition von Augustins Psalmenkommentar wurde die Edition der Erklärungen zu den Psalmen 101-150 in Kooperation zwischen dem CSEL (vormals Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, heute Universität Salzburg) und dem Istituto Patristico Augustinianum (Rom) erarbeitet; dieses Teilprojekt findet mit dem vorliegenden Band, den Franco Gori unter Mitwirkung von Angelo De Nicola erstellt hat, seinen Abschluss.

This volume constitutes the Proceedings of the "Nonlinear Dynamics in Economics and Social Sciences" Meeting held at the Certosa di Pontignano, Siena, on May 27-30, 1991. The Meeting was organized by the National Group "Modelli Nonlineari in Economia e Dinamiche Complesse" of the Italian Ministery of University and SCientific Research, M.U.RS.T. The aim of the Conference, which followed a previous analogous initiative taking place in the very same Certosa, on January 1988*, was the one of offering a come together opportunity to economists interested in a new mathematical approach to the modelling of economical processes, through the use of more advanced analytical techniques, and mathematicians acting in the field of global dynamical systems theory and applications. A basiC underlying idea drove the organizers: the necessity of fOCUSing on the use that recent methods and results, as those commonly referred to the overpopularized label of "Chaotic Dynamics", did find in the social sciences domain; and thus to check their actual relevance in the research program of modelling economic phenomena, in order to individuate and stress promising perspectives, as well as to curb excessive hopes and criticize not infrequent cases where research reduces to mechanical, ad hoc, applications of "a la mode" techniques. In a word we felt the need of looking about the state of the arts in non-linear systems theory applications to economics and social processes: hence the title of the workshop and the volume.
