Abstract
In the present paper a few aspects of the historical development of Cybernetics
will be discussed. The aim is to show that by examining the epistemological
problems behind these aspects of its development, we can acquire some useful tools for
a better understanding of the current state of some of the theories and disciplines, related
to information processing, which evolved out of that explosion of innovative ideas
and which in the 1950s, combined and gave rise to the birth of novel and interesting
paths of investigation.
