First Published in 1969, System, Structure and Experience offers a
basic information-flow design capable of accounting for the complex
operations of a culturally cognizant and purposive mind consistently
with the general relationship of the human organism and its
environment. By means of the isomorphy of a hierarchically ordered
series of circuits, a way is opened for resolving the traditional
‘mind- body’ or ‘psycho-physical’ problems. The work outlines
the design of a self-stabilizing and self-organizing system, shows
that it applies to artificial, biological as well as cognitive
structures, and then undertakes to analyze the diverse facets of
perpetual, scientific, aesthetic, and religious experience in its
terms. The interrelation of the two or more such multi-level cognitive
systems offers insights into the problems of human communication. The
book is a contribution to the scientific analysis of cognitive
experience and promotes the transfer of the traditional domain of an
introspectively founded philosophy of mind into the realm of modern
system research.
