The World as We Knew It …. in 1965 London, July 11 to July 17, 1967: International Colloquium on Philosophy of Science at Bedford College, Regent’s Park Three Volumes with Imre Lakatos as Editor: Problems in the Philosophy of Mathematics (1967) The Problem of Inductive Logic (1968) Problems in the Philosophy of Science (1968) Imre Lakatos and Alan Musgrave as Editors: Criticism and the Growth of Knowledge (1970)

Meta- Philosophy of Science: Level Meta-Language, Meta-Criteria, Normative Object- Scientific Disciplines; LevelScience of Science; Transdisciplinary Programs Robust Knowledge as a Circular Feedback Loop between Scientific Hypothesis and Theories at the Object Level and Philosophy of Science Assessments at the Meta-Level Knowledge Organization in the World as We Knew It

Transdisciplinary Programs (1948 – 1965) The Miracle Year 1948 General Systems Theory Information Theory Cybernetics Cognitive Science Artificial Intelligence Bionics

Second Order Cybernetics (SOC) SOC Emerged Gradually during the Early Seventies 1972Heinz von Foerster, “Notes on an Epistemology for Living Things” (second order relators, third order relator ….) 1974Heinz von Foerster et al.

Second Order Cybernetics (SOC)  Expressed More as a Vision than as a Framework for Research  Directed against Objectivity and  Context-free Methodologies Centered around  Observer  Self-Referentiality
