Softcover/Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Als G?nthers Buch 1957 erschien, galt die Kybernetik als die Universalwissenschaft der Zukunft. Man hatte entdeckt, dass Staubsauger und Staaten nach denselben Prinzipien funktionieren. G?nther war nicht nur ein im Deutschen Idealismus und in der Logik ausgebildeter Philosoph, sondern auch ein Fan von Science Fiction-Literatur. Diese Mischung bef?higte ihn, die Bedeutung der vor allem von Norbert Wiener erl?uterten Denkart anzuerkennen. Das Buch "Das Bewu?tsein der Maschinen" ist wohl nach Wieners grundlegenden Texten das erste philosophische Werk, das die Kybernetik im gr??tm?glichen Zusammenhang der abendl?ndischen Metaphysik lokalisiert und interpretiert. F?r G?nther - wie ?brigens auch f?r seinen Antipoden Martin Heidegger - war klar, dass die Kybernetik die Menschheit ver?ndern sollte. Anders aber als der Antipode begr??te G?nther diese Ver?nderung enthusiastisch, wenn auch in Bezug auf die M?glichkeit selbstbewusster Maschinen zur?ckhaltend. Weil sich diese Prognose einer tiefgreifenden Ver?nderung der Welt durch die Maschine vor allem des Computers best?tigt hat und weil dar?ber hinaus eine weitere Ver?nderung der Welt durch Roboter schon im Gange ist, kann uns eine Neuver?ffentlichung von G?nthers Werk an eine Diskussion erinnern, deren Bedeutung wir vielleicht erst heute angemessen beurteilen k?nnen.When G?nther's book first appeared in 1957, cybernetics was considered the universal science of the future. It had been discovered that basically vacuum cleaners and states work according to the same principles. G?nther was not only a philosopher, versed in German Idealism and logic, but also a fan of science fiction literature. This enabled him to fully grasp the importance of this new way of thinking, with Norbert Wiener as its foremost proponent. The book "Das Bewu?tsein der Maschinen" (The Consciousness of Machines) is probably the first philosophical work in the wake of Wiener's fundamental texts to locate and interpret cybernetics in the widest possible context of Western metaphysics. For G?nther - as, incidentally, for his antipode Martin Heidegger - it was clear that cybernetics was destined to eventually change humanity. Unlike Heidegger, however, G?nther enthusiastically welcomed this change, though he was cautious about the possibility of self-aware machines. Since this prognosis of a profoundly universal technological revolution, brought about especially by the computer, has been confirmed, and because, moreover, an even more far-reaching change of the world by robots is already underway, a new look at G?nther's work may remind us of a discussion whose significance we can perhaps only now adequately assess.
