Fifty years of Wilsonian renormalization and counting

Abstract

Renormalization began as a tool to eliminate divergences in quantum electrodynamics but it is now the basis of our understanding of physics at different energy scales. I review its evolution with an eye towards physics beyond the Wilsonian paradigm.
