The occasion for this work was provided by the recent
Marxist-Leninist philosophic pUblications on problems involving the
term 'information' and by the extensive discussions of ideas
originating in cybernetics. Thus, the issues are quite recent,
which explains some peculiarities of our ap- proach. Our main
effort has been toward the clarification and systematiza- tion of
questions on information, which arise in the context of
cybernetics. Where basic questions are involved, one is brought
back to traditional issues as is often the case when dealing with a
novel subject. Stress on questions drawn from physics is due to the
author's professional involve- ment in this field. This work was
written under the direction of Professor J. M. Bochenski,
principally in the context of a special program at the Institute of
East- European Studies of the University of Fribourg (Switzerland);
a program carried out by Professor Bochenski with the collaboration
of Dr. S. Muller-Markus. Participation in the special program was
made possible by a grant from the West German 'Innenministerium'.
Completion of the work was subsidized by the Bundesinstitut fUr
ostwissenschaftliche und internationale Studien in Cologne. Our
thanks go to these persons and organisations, who are in no way
responsible for the content of the work. Givisiez, May 1967
TRANSLATOR'S NOTE Although we have made use of the works of Cherry
and MacKay, cited in the bibliography, our translation of many
terms may still seem some- what arbitrary to some readers. The
explanation for this is threefold.
