Abstract
In general terms, a dynamic system is the mathematical formalization of the evolution of the spatial position of a point over time. From a philosophical point of view, the changes in the concept of dynamic system over the last century have been significant. A profound difference has emerged between the concept of dynamic system characterizing “classical science” and that developed by what, following the definition by Ilya Prigogine and Isabelle Stengers, is called “new science” (end of the twentieth century) (see complexity, structural morphodynamics).
