Radovan Richta Czech philosopher Radovan Richta (June 6, 1924 – July 21, 1983) was a Czech philosopher who coined the term technological evolution; a theory about how societies diminish physical labour by increasing mental labour.[1] Richta was born in Prague.[1] Richta's first work was Člověk a technika v revoluci našich dnů ("Man and Technology in the Revolution of Our Day"), published in 1963. Richta developed the famous term of "Socialism with a human face" serving as a motto of the Prague Spring period. Life[edit] During World War II, Richta organized a resistance movement against the Nazis, and his organization became part of the communist resistance in the critical moment of the worst persecution (or man-hunting). After the war Richta became quite ill, and beginning in 1958 he periodically spent time in sanatoria.[6] In between bouts of sickness, and in a compromise with his doctors who prescribed complete bed rest, Richta studied and worked very hard.

Second-order cybernetics Second-order cybernetics, also known as the cybernetics of cybernetics, investigates the construction of models of cybernetic systems. It investigates cybernetics with awareness that the investigators are part of the system, and of the importance of self-referentiality, self-organizing, the subject–object problem, etc. Investigators of a system can never see how it works by standing outside it because the investigators are always engaged cybernetically with the system being observed; that is, when investigators observe a system, they affect and are affected by it. Overview[edit] The anthropologists Gregory Bateson and Margaret Mead contrasted first and second-order cybernetics with this diagram in an interview in 1973.[1] It emphasizes the requirement for a possibly constructivist participant observer in the second order case: . . . essentially your ecosystem, your organism-plus-environment, is to be considered as a single circuit.[1] See also[edit] Gyroteleostasis References[edit]

Autopoietic.net -- Journal of Autopoietic Theory Tertullian Unlike many Church fathers, Tertullian was never recognized as a saint by the Eastern or Western catholic tradition churches. Several of his teachings on issues such as the clear subordination of the Son and Spirit to the Father,[12][14] and his condemnation of remarriage for widows and of fleeing from persecution, contradicted the doctrines of these traditions. Life[edit] Scant reliable evidence exists to inform us about Tertullian's life; most history about him comes from passing references in his own writings. Further, Tertullian has been thought to be a lawyer based on his use of legal analogies and an identification of him with the jurist Tertullianus, who is quoted in the Pandects. His conversion to Christianity perhaps took place about 197–198 (cf. In the time of Augustine, a group of "Tertullianists" still had a basilica in Carthage which, within that same period, passed to the orthodox Church.

The Complexity and Artificial Life Research Concept for Self-Organizing Systems Douglas Harding Douglas Edison Harding (12 February 1909 – 11 January 2007) was an English philosophical writer, mystic, spiritual teacher and author of a number of books, including On Having No Head, Zen and the Rediscovery of the Obvious. He was born in Lowestoft in the county of Suffolk and raised in the Exclusive Plymouth Brethren, a Christian sect, from which he apostatised at the age of 21.

Harding continued to write, however, but it was not until 1964 that he clearly shared the experience of 'headlessness' with another person - his secretary. Harding travelled widely, sharing Seeing. Harding was married twice and had two sons and a daughter. Books[edit] Films[edit] Headless
Why the Hacks Hate Michael Hastings One can’t doubt that the American objective in Iraq has failed. Clearly this long-haired Buckley fellow is a defeatist and ought to be ignored. Perhaps he submitted the essay in question to Rolling Stone before running it in his own magazine? Hastings refers to “the doomed offensive in Marja,” which makes it sound as though the Taliban repulsed us, when we took actually took the city (although the Taliban is still carrying out attacks). Hastings may have chosen the term “doomed” because the offensive eventually led to a problematic occupation which McChrystal himself terms an “ulcer,” due to its not having achieved what it was meant to achieve. Boot also notes how the experts quoted by Hastings are all critical of the war. … except, of course, for Gen. All of which underlines the poor judgment in giving this guy such access. Here, finally, Lowry has hit upon a valid point. Seriously, though, look at the ads in National Review some time.
