Artistic research in Wiener's oeuvre
As a versatile and creative thinker, Oswald Wiener
(1935--2021) developed from an artist into a researcher out of sheer
necessity. At the end of his life he emphasized:
I do not aim
at a synthesis of introspection and automata theory but rather at
in a fairly satisfactory way -- be understood as realizations of
relationships within a formal system, e.g., the formal system of
automata theory. Or the other way around: How well does automata theory
as a model (i.e., the computer as mental metaphor, 'Physical Symbol
Systems, ' today's Artificial Intelligence ...) capture essential
features of human thought? What does 'in a fairly satisfactory way' mean
in this context? What, and how strongly, does the formal system
abstract from natural processes?
In this book, three
conversations with Wiener about the development of his theory and four
essays introduce and elaborate on this new ap proach to the theory of
thought, which has previously received too little attention in academic
discourse. A pivotal role is played by Wiener's last major essay
Cybernetics and Ghosts.
