Cybernetics and Human Knowing

http://www.bakery.demon.co.uk/C&HK/cyber.htm

Cybernetics and Human Knowing is a quarterly international multi- and
interdisciplinary journal on second order cybernetics and cybersemiotics. 

The journal is devoted to the new understandings of self-organizing
processes of information in human knowing that have arisen through the
cybernetics of cybernetics, or second order cybernetics and its relation
and relevance to other interdisciplinary approaches such as semiotics
(cybersemiotics). This new development within cybernetics is a
nondisciplinary approach. Through the concept of self-reference it tries
to explore: the meaning of cognition and communication; our understanding
of organization and information in human, artificial and natural systems;
and our understanding of understanding within the natural and social
sciences, humanities, information and library science, and in social
practices as design, education, organisation, teaching, therapy, art,
management and politics.
