Conclusions Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary Cybernetics is a science that studies systems of any nature that are capable of perceiving, storing, and processing information, as well as of using it for control and regulation. UNESCO – EOLSS The second title of the Norbert Wiener’s book “Cybernetics” reads “Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine”. However, it is not recognition of the external similaritySAMPLE between the functions of animalsCHAPTERS and machines that Norbert Wiener is credited with. That had been done well before and can be traced back to La Mettrie and Descartes. Nor is it his contribution that he introduced the notion of feedback; that has been known since the times of the creation of the first irrigation systems in ancient Babylon. His distinctive contribution lies in demonstrating that both animals and machines can be combined into a new, wider class of objects which is characterized by the presence of control systems; furthermore, living organisms, including humans and machines, can be talked about in the same language that is suitable for a description of any teleological (goal-directed) systems.

  • Are Systems Neuroscience Explanations Mechanistic?
    Are Systems Neuroscience Explanations Mechanistic? Carlos Zednik [email protected] Institute of Cognitive Science, University of Osnabrück 49069 Osnabrück, Germany Paper to be presented at: Philosophy of Science Association 24th Biennial Meeting (Chicago, IL), November 2014 Abstract Whereas most branches of neuroscience are thought to provide mechanistic explanations, systems neuroscience is not. Two reasons are traditionally cited in support of this conclusion. First, systems neuroscientists rarely, if ever, rely on the dual strategies of decomposition and localization. Second, they typically emphasize organizational properties over the properties of individual components. In this paper, I argue that neither reason is conclusive: researchers might rely on alternative strategies for mechanism discovery, and focusing on organization is often appropriate and consistent with the norms of mechanistic explanation. Thus, many explanations in systems neuroscience can also be viewed as mechanistic explanations. 1 1. Introduction There is a widespread consensus in philosophy of science that neuroscientists provide mechanistic explanations. That is, they seek the discovery and description of the mechanisms responsible for the behavioral and neurological phenomena being explained. This consensus is supported by a growing philosophical literature on past and present examples from various branches of neuroscience, including molecular (Craver 2007; Machamer, Darden, and Craver 2000), cognitive (Bechtel 2008; Kaplan and Craver 2011), and computational

  • Edgar Morin’S Path of Complexity
    FOREWORD EDGAR MORIN’S PATH OF COMPLEXITY ALFONSO MONTUORI Ndlr: A Montuori et l’éditeur de ‘On Complexity’ nous autorisent à reprender ici le texte anglais de la préface de l’ouvrage d’Edgar Morin qu’ils publient « ON COMPLEXITY » The reform in thinking is a key anthropological and historical problem. This implies a mental revolution of considerably greater proportions than the Copernican revolution. Never before in the history of humanity have the responsibilities of thinking weighed so crushingly on us. Does knowing that knowledge cannot be guaranteed by a foundation not mean that we have already acquired a first fundamental knowledge? And should this not lead us to abandon the architectural metaphor, in which the term “foundation” assumes an indispensable meaning, in favor of a musical metaphor of construction in movement that transforms in its very movement the constitutive elements that form it? And might we not also consider the knowledge of knowledge as a construction in movement? We need a kind of thinking that reconnects that which is disjointed and compartmentalized, that respects diversity as it recognizes unity, and that tries to discern interdependencies. We need a radical thinking (which gets to the root of problems), a multidimensional thinking, and an organizational or systemic thinking. History has not reached a stagnant end, nor is it triumphantly marching towards the radiant future. It is being catapulted into an unknown adventure. Edgar Morin: A Biblio-biography Perhaps the best way to provide a contextual introduction to Morin’s work is through an outline of his intellectual trajectory, in the form of a “biblio-biography.” A review of Morin’s journey helps us, I believe, to better understand the man and his mission in the essays that follow.

  • American Society for Cybernetics the Heinz Von Foerster Society
    American Society for Cybernetics The Warren McCulloch Award of the American Society for Cybernetics is awarded to The Heinz von Foerster Society for an extensive, prolonged, deep and successful commitment to the furtherance of the work of Heinz von Foerster and other cyberneticians concerned with second-order cybernetics and related approaches and understandings. Beginning with a major interview book with Heinz von Foerster (“Der Anfang von Himmel und Erde hat keinen Namen: Eine Selbsterschaffung in sieben Tagen” about to appear in English translation), members of the Heinz for Foerster Society have promoted second order cybernetics in general, and the work of Heinz von Foerster, Gordon Pask, Ernst von Glasersfeld and Richard Jung in particular, in the conferences and lectures they have funded and promoted over the past 10 years. Emerging from their first conference, the book “An Unfinished Revolution” is a key critical and reference work covering the progress so far of second-order cybernetics. Together with the publishers echoraum, they have also published a series of books on mainly second-order cybernetic topics, with authors including ASC members; and recently began a new series with the book “Trojan Horses,” which emerged from the ASC’s 2010 conference held in Troy, NY. The Heinz von Foerstar Society has been successful in directing new public attention to cybernetics in both the English and the German speaking worlds. Theirs is a major contribution to the furtherance of cybernetics, both in terms of public attention and publicity, and in the continuing development of our subject area. Ranulph Glanville President of the American Society for Cybernetics 2013/08/01.

For example, learning to solve arithmetical operations such as “3 + 4” requires first an understanding of what numbers mean and rep- resent (e.g., the symbol “3” refers to the quantity of three items, which derives from the ability to attend to discrete items in the environment).

As Jürgen Habermas states, Cornelius Castoriadis undertook “…the most original, the most ambitious and the most profound task to view … the liberating interference of history, society, inner and outer nature, as an act”.1 Octavio Paz refers to him as an intellectual “to whom we owe a precious elucidation of politics and philosophy”,2 Edgar Morin names him “a titan of the spirit”,3 and Axel Honneth characterizes him as “the last representative and renovator of the tradition of the European Left and the creator of an influential theory”.4 According to Hans Joas, 1 Jürgen Habermas, Der philosophische Diskurs der Moderne, Suhrkamp, 1985, p. 380. 2 Octavio Paz, “Itinerarum, Kleine politische Autobiographie”, in Frankfurt Allgemeine, 1993, p. 56. 3 Edgar Morin, « Castoriadis: un titan de l’esprit (necrologie) », in Le Monde, 30 December 1997, p. 1. 4 Axel Honneth, “Die Kreativität des Sozialen: Zum Tode von Cornelius Castoriadis”, in Frankfurter Rundschau, 30 December 1997. Philosophica, 37, Lisboa, 2011, pp. 197-213 198 Theofanis Tassis Castoriadis’s theory is “…the most original contemporary attempt to express a political philosophy through the notion of creativity”.5 However, for a long time, his ideas, circulated broadly, and became more famous than his name.

  • Socialisme Ou Barbarie: a French Revolutionary Group (1949-65)
    Socialisme ou Barbarie: A French Revolutionary Group (1949-65) Marcel van der Lindenl In memory of Cornelius Castoriadis, 11 March 1922 - 26 December 1997 The political and theoretical views developed by the radical group Socialisme ou Barbarie from 1949 onward, have only recently received some attention outside the French speaking world.2 For a long period things were little different in France where the group and its similarly named periodical also received scant attention. This only changed after the students' and workers' rebellion in May- June 1968. The remnants of the journal, which had been unsaleable up to then - it had stopped appearing three years earlier - suddenly became a hot-selling item. Many of the 'heretical' ideas published in it seemed to be confirmed by the unexpected revolt. In 1977 the daily Le Monde wrote on the intellectual efforts of Socialisme ou Barbarie: "This work - aIthough unknown to the public at large -has nevertheless had a powerful influence on those who played a role in May 1968." In the writings of the group one finds "most of the ideas which are being debated nowadays (from workers' control through to the critique of modern technology, of Bolshevism or of mar^)."^ In Socialisme ou Barbarie an attempt was made to consider the bureaucra- tization of social movements. The central questions were: is it an iron law that movements opposing the existing order either fall apart or change into rigid hierarchies? How can militants organize themselves without being absorbed or rigidified into a bureaucratic apparatus? Socialisme ou Barbarie first posed these questions because the group asked itself why things had gone wrong in the traditional labour movement.

  • Systems Processes and Pathologies: Creating an Integrated Framework for Systems Science
    IS13-SysProc&Path-Troncale.docx Page 1 of 24 Systems Processes and Pathologies: Creating An Integrated Framework for Systems Science Dr. Len Troncale Professor Emeritus and Past Chair, Biological Sciences Director, Institute for Advanced Systems Science California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, California, 91711 [email protected] Copyright © 2013 by Len Troncale. Published and used by INCOSE with permission Abstract. Among the several official projects of the INCOSE Systems Science Working Group, one focuses on integrating the plethora of systems theories, sources, approaches, and tools developed over the past half-century with the purpose of enabling a new and unified “science” of systems as a fundamental basis for SE. Another seeks to develop a much more SE-usable Systems Pathology also grounded in a “science” of systems. This paper introduces the wider SE community to the current status of this unique knowledge base produced over the past three years by an INCOSE-ISSS alliance summarizing the current output of 7 Workshops, 12 Papers, >24 Presentations or Webinars, and 5 Reports. It describes the need for integration of systems knowledge by demonstrating the extensive fragmentation of numerous contributing fields. It presents the current 12-step “protocol” used by the current group to guide its efforts at synthesis across systems domains, disciplines, tools, and scales asking for feedback to improve the approach. It introduces 15 Working Assumptions or Hypotheses that form the foundation for this attempt at unification citing why these could be used as working principles but why it may be undesirable to call them “principles” as others often do. The paper presents working frameworks for integration and criteria used to judge whether results are a “science” of systems or not with reminders that these early guidelines are being subjected to constant testing and revision.

  • The Place and Meaning of Computing in a Sound Relationship of Man, Machines, and Environment
