5.0 out of 5 stars
A required reading for all students of Cognitive Science,
This review is from: The Mechanization of the Mind (Hardcover)
An history of the first cybernetics, the transdisciplinary movement initiated in 1946 by John von Neumann, Warren McCulloch and Nobert Wiener, aimed to the creation of a general science of systems, complexity and mind. Jean-Pierre Dupuy, a very bright French philosopher, untied the intricate tangle of the genesis of ideas to offer one of the sharpest scientific detective work I have ever read. Those who still think that cognitive science was born with the advent of digital computers will be surprised... and enlightened, since I find it is almost impossible to understand the origins and conflicts of the different schools of thought in cogsci without such an healthy historical contextualization.
