Sociocybernetic Paradoxes: Observation, Control and Evolution of Self-Steering Systems - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
In this stimulating work, thirteen distinguished scholars examine and aim to reconcile the paradox that social systems tend to steer themselves with the knowledge that they are, at the same time, subject to steering and control from outside. ′Sociocybernetics′ is the term they have coined to describe the tools used in the analysis of this paradox; tools which have themselves evolved from and influenced cybernetics and general systems theory.
Sociocybernetic Paradoxes surveys both the possibilities and limitations of cybernetics in the analysis and treatment of social problems: Part One looks at concrete experiences of the steering of specific social systems; Part Two examines the planning, hierarchy and views of society and also the role of social science within it; and Part Three presents the wider context of governing and planning social systems.

Críticas
`Converts to this book's ideas will find here a major contribution towards the dissolution of disabling `either--or' stances and sceptics will gain the opportunity to criticize from an informed as opposed to a half--baked understanding of the issues involved.' -- British Journal of Social Work, Vol.17, 1987.
`This book will be helpful to anyone who wants to learn about the content and scope of the 'new cybernetics'... The book is useful for the way it displays both the strengths and weaknesses of an innovative approach to the analysis of social systems.' -- Contemporary Sociology
