In these essays Heinz von Foerster discusses some of the
fundamental principles that govern how we know the world and how we
process the information from which we derive that knowledge.
Included are path- breaking articles concerning the principles of
computation in neural nets (1967), the definition of
self-organizing systems (1960), the nature of cognition (1970), as
well as recent expansions on these themes (e.g. "How recursive is
communication," 1993). Working with Norbert Wiener, Warren
McCullough, and others in the 1960s and 1970s, von Foerster was one
of the founders of the science of cybernetics, which has had
profound effects both on modern systems theory and on the
philosophy of cognition. At the Biological Computer Laboratory at
the University of Illinois he produced the first parallel computers
and contributed to many other developments in the theory of
computation and cognition.
