Cybernetics and the Origin of Information - Paperback
by Raymond Ruyer (Author), Amélie Berger-Soraruff (Translator), Andrew Iliadis (Translator)
Published now for the first time in English, Cybernetics and the Origin of Information is a deep exploration into information theory, cybernetics, and the philosophy of information. A true hidden gem in the history of continental thought, this text helps us determine and understand the contemporary technological moment.
Raymond Ruyer (1902-1987) was professor of philosophy at the Université de Nancy. A highly original and prolific philosopher, he sought to provide a metaphysics adequate to the discoveries of science. Today his works are being rediscovered by a new generation, both in France and beyond. Cybernetics and the Origin of Information is his third book to appear in English translation, after Neofinalism and The Genesis of Living Forms.
