    Pockets of irrationality in an increasingly rational world: An effort to simplify unmanageable environmental over-complexity? (2001)
    Bingley : Emerald

    Notes: The transition is described from the "mediated society" (Lachs) to the "network society" (Castells), caused by the increasingly rapid complexification of modern society. On the level of psychic systems, i.e. the individual's consciousness, the modern network society promotes new (non-Marxist and non-psychiatric) forms of powerlessness and meaningless. On the level of social systems, i.e. the system of communications in the network society, the results of this are described. The network society is only partially developed: in some areas more than others, in the economic and political more than in the cultural sphere. As an example, the present-day situation in Yugoslavia is discussed, as well as the chances for the emergence of world-wide minimum norms, both ecological and anti-genocide.

    The march of self-reference (2002)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Kybernetes 31 (2002), S. 1021-1042 
    Details
    ISSN: 0368-492X
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Computer Science
    Notes: Focuses on the issue of increasing environmental and societal complexity, and its effects on the individual, especially visible in the increase of self-reference (the commonalities between man, animals and machines). Distinguishes three meanings of self-reference and discusses the interrelationships between self-reference, alienation, and growing societal complexity: states that, especially in the last few decades of this secular age, there has been increasing incidence of self-reference. Also discusses the relationship between self-reference, constructivism, and modern brain research. Asserts that the march of self-reference is likely to continue, but that it will change in character.
