Gertrudis Van de Vijver. Seminar of Logic and Epistemology
University of Ghent Before being classified under the fashionable
denominators of complexity and chaos, self-organization and
autonomy were intensely inquired into in the cybernetic tradition.
Despite all rejections that cybernetics has gone through in the
second half of this century, today its importance is more and more
recognized. Its decisive influence for connectionist theories,
autopoietic and constructivist theories, for different forms of
applied or experimental epistemology, is being more and more
understood and generally accepted. It is mainly due to the success
of connectionist models that we observe today a revival of interest
for cybernetics. The 1943 article by McCulloch and Pitts is
evidently a founding article. Cybernetics has however a much
broader interest than the one linked to technical-mathematical
details relevant to the construction of networks. For instance, the
evolution from first to second order cybernetics, the ways of
approaching biological and cognitive phenomena in the latter and
the limits that were formulated there, are particularly meaningful
to understand current developments and divergences in
connectionism. A nuanced picture of cybernetic's history and its
present state is therefore clearly epistemologically essential."
