Isi artikel

A far-seeing commentary on hopes for a scientific psychology is to be found in Norbert Wiener’s (1948) Cybernetics. At the end of a book that in hindsight might seem to have blazed the trail for what we now call cognitive science, Wiener fired a warning shot for all those tempted to venture down that path. This was based on an allegory drawn from Maxwell (1972, p. 309) to show the thermodynamic impossibility of a ‘demon’ who lives on the same scale as the particles it studies being able to draw any valid conclusions about their behaviour.
