One of the lost classics of French philosophy, Cybernetics and the
Origin of Information has never before been published in English.
Raymond Ruyer—who was a major influence on Simondon and Deleuze,
among others—originally wrote this book, one of the first critiques
of Norbert Wiener’s cybernetics program, in 1954. At once critical
and analytical, it is a deep exploration of information theory,
cybernetics, and the philosophical assumptions and implications of
both. Among the themes covered in the book are the main types of
information machines, information’s relationship to behavior and
communication, and the nature of entropy and time in cybernetics. This
translation contributes to understanding the rich history of
cybernetics and the philosophy of information. A true hidden gem in
the history of philosophical thought, this text will help readers
understand foundational criticisms of ideas that have led to
artificial intelligence.
