176. New Horizons for Second-Order Cybernetics

Author

Riegler, Alexander, Müller, Karl, Umpleby, Stuart A., Faculty of Arts and Philosophy, and Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science

Abstract

In almost 60 articles this book reviews the current state of second-order cybernetics and investigates which new research methods second-order cybernetics can offer to tackle wicked problems in science and in society. The contributions explore its application to both scientific fields (such as mathematics, psychology and consciousness research) and non-scientific ones (such as design theory and theater science). The book uses a pluralistic, multifaceted approach to discuss these applications: Each main article is accompanied by several commentaries and author responses, which together allow the reader to discover further perspectives than in the original article alone. This procedure shows that second-order cybernetics is already on its way to becoming an idea shared by many researchers in a variety of disciplines.

179. Die Dritte Philosophie. Kritische Beiträge zu Josef Mitterers Dualismuskritik

Author

Riegler, Alexander, Weber, Stefan, Centrum Leo Apostel, and Centrum voor Logica en Wetenschapsfilosofie

Subjects
non-dualism, Josef Mitterer
Abstract

Der österreichische Philosoph Josef Mitterer hat in zwei Werken - Das Jenseits der Philosophie (1992) und Die Flucht aus der Beliebigkeit (2001) - sowohl realistische als auch idealistische bzw. konstruktivistische Positionen einer radikalen Kritik unterzogen und eine non-dualistische Alternative des Denkens entwickelt, die auf die kategoriale Unterscheidung von Beschreibung und beschreibungs- verschiedener Wirklichkeit verzichtet. Wie der vorliegende Band zeigt, beschäftigen sich mittlerweile Wissenschaftler verschiedener Fächer international mit Mitterers Denkweise. Autorinnen und Autoren aus den Bereichen Philosophie, Psychologie, Pädagogik, Soziologie, Kunstwis- senschaft, Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaft sowie Politikwissenschaft erproben das Potenzial der Dualismuskritik Mitterers für zentrale Probleme und offene Fragen.
