lindblom ::: The Cognitive Science General Systems Project ::: THINK TANK ::: A GENERAL SYSTEMS SCIENCE SYSTEM FOR COMPLEX SYSTEMS THINKING : GST2 :::

ENROLLMENT CLOSED ::::

Please note that as this course is a beta and a summer course by invitation only. A mirror course is offered open invitation at Rice University Connexions. This course in Cognitive Science Systems is designed initially to explore General Systems Theory. Please note that as the course continues as a BETA, other theory could be introduced. That kind of change is a goal in the course: Specific cases are welcome.) See Jungian Theory (Carl Gustav Jung MD), Epistemology, Ontology Teleology and State Referential Information Theory (Bela A. Banathy PhD). FOR BELA A. BANATHY, please feel free to Google:http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=%22Bela+A.+Banathy%22&meta=

General Course Description:

1.) Theory Learning Goals:

a.) Understanding theoretical perspectives in cognitive science systems thinking, and theoretical biology beginning with a general systems theory orientation approach and leading into further theorietical orientations.  The course is in exploration of complex systems thinking (including Symbolic Systems) in Cognitive Science as compared and contrasted to the General Systems Theory. Google Complexity Theory for details! http://www.google.com

b.) Assessment and appraisal of scholarly research and writing in general, specific, relative and universal areas of psychology using General Systems Theory as an extended description for cognition.

**************************

2.) Pragmatic Learning Goals:

a.) General application of psychological theory in cognitive science and General systems theory.

b.) Specific cases are welcome. Reflection on application of theory and design methodology in theoretical research and action research including practical investigation of ideas, norms, and change strategies in Cognitive Science and in General systems theory.

Some gentle humor
********************

Wiener coined the word 'cybernetics' for what it was we were discussing.

"I was gently dropped from Harvard because a rumor got around, 'Bateson says anthropologists ought to be psychoanalyzed.' I did not say this, and I don't think I even believed it, but if they thought this was a good reason for dropping me, then I was probably lucky to be dropped. I was immediately picked up by Jurgen Ruesch for his research project in the Langley Porter Clinic, a psychiatric institution. This was the beginning of fourteen years of association with psychiatry, where I did my best, again, to bring formal theory into a very unformed Augean stable. The result was the so-called double bind hypothesis, which provided a framework for the formal description of schizophrenic symptoms and the experience of the schizophrenic in his family. I think this held up and still holds up pretty well in the face of a lot of misunderstanding and a little criticism. "

Gregory Bateson
