The Phenomenon of Science
A cybernetic approach to human evolution
Book • 1977
In 'The Phenomenon of Science', Valentin Turchin presents a comprehensive evolutionary scheme of the universe, integrating cybernetic principles to explain the emergence of complex systems.
The book explores how higher levels of control evolve, leading to the development of life, human self-consciousness, and scientific knowledge.
Turchin's approach emphasizes the role of random variations and environmental interactions in evolution, rejecting purposeful or preordained development.
