CHAPTER

Cybernetics and Consciousness: A Philosophical Inquiry

This chapter explores the unique philosophical approach to cybernetics, contrasting traditional expectations with the author's assertive and at times disjointed style. It critically examines the relationships between mechanistic models, consciousness, and the origin of information, arguing for a metaphysical dimension that merges scientific and phenomenological perspectives. The discussion delves into the nuances of human creativity, language, and the dual nature of consciousness, suggesting a richer understanding of information beyond mere mechanistic interpretations.
