Modern rationality: a cybernetic view
Purpose - Nowadays integration is the main tendency in the development of natural and human sciences. The discoveries arising on the boundary of individual sciences are the direct expression of scientific knowledge integration. The purpose of this paper is to address these issues. Design/methodology/approach - Discusses the relationships of philosophy, cybernetics and artificial intelligence, and the contribution of cybernetics to philosophy. Findings - Specified theoretical tools are required to realize integration, in regular, nonstochastic way. Cybernetics can provide those tools. The practical and theoretical significance of cybernetics provokes the actual need of research of the philosophical, methodological and logical assumptions, basic methods and results of cybernetics. Cybernetics is the typical science on the "frontier"; it has close relations with mathematics, physics, logic, biology, etc. and with philosophy. It is not curious that many connections between natural and social sciences are realised just by intercession of cybernetics. Originality/value - Examines the activity of extraordinary intricate systems.
