Subject: [Journal] Cybernetics & Human Knowing   


Dear technologists and scientists,

[Hi, I thought --this might interest you --Cybernetics and Human Knowing
--is a journal of second order Cybernetics autopoiesis and
cyber-semiotics. The Volume 7, No 1, 2000 issue is a special one consists
of theme "The Embodied Mind and the Baldwin Effect".

Regarding Cybernetics, I would like to give my ideas and thoughts, -the
founder of Cybernetic Revolution was Norbert Wiener. In Cybernetics,
Wiener defined three central concepts which he maintains were crucial in
any organism or system. They are communication, control, and feedback.
Important to Wiener's vision was the understanding that the more complex
the machine, like the developing digital computer, the more not less,
direction and intelligence were required on the part of its human
partner.-

Now, as the journal is having some chapters on *James Mark Baldwin* -here
is web-pointers on *Baldwin* and his Literatures at:

James Mark Baldwin's Mental Development in the Child and the Race is at:

Humberto Maturana --famous Biologist, Cybernetician, and scientist --who
invented his theory of "Autopoiesis" -more on him can be found at
<http://www.oikos.org/maten.htm>
