Wiener, Norbert Filmography

Das Netz (2003)

Famous quotes by Norbert Wiener:

"A single inattention may lose a chess game, whereas a single successful approach to a problem, among many which have been relegated to the wastebasket, will make a mathematician's reputation."

"The idea that information can be stored in a changing world without an overwhelming depreciation of its value is false. It is scarcely less false than the more plausible claim that after a war we may take our existing weapons, fill their barrels with information."

"The nervous system and the automatic machine are fundamentally alike in that they are devices, which make decisions on the basis of decisions they made in the past"

"To live effectively is to live with adequate information."

"The more we get out of the world the less we leave, and in the long run we shall have to pay our debts at a time that may be very inconvenient for our own survival"

"The modern physicist is a quantum theorist on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and a student of gravitational relativity theory on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Sunday he is praying. . . that someone will find the reconciliation between the two views."

"What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their experiments lead"

"Progress imposes not only new possibilities for the future but new restrictions"

"The more we get out of the world the less we leave, and in the long run we shall have to pay our debts at a time that may be very inconvenient for our own survival."

"On the question of information"

Order: Reorder
Duration: 97:15
Updated: 10 Nov 2011

Soraya Guimarães Hoepfner: "On the question of information: a philosopher in conversation with an engineer, a mathematician and a physicist." Inspired by Heidegger's "Conversation on the country path" (a dialogue between a teacher, a researcher and an erudite)*, this paper introduces three ways of thought on today's information technology, based on the speculation of three 'dialogues' by Martin Heidegger on cybernetics with Hermann Schmidt, Norbert Wiener and Karl-Friedrich von Weizsäcker, respectively. The three-level dialogue starts by drawing related points between Heidegger's vision of the "science of control" and the vision of Herman Schmidt, the German engineer who is also considered a pioneer of cybernetics with his 'Allgemeine Regelungstechnik' from the beginning of 40's. Despite the fact that both thinkers were reflecting on this subject in Germany at the same time, any direct contact or real dialogue between them is presently unknown. The second mode is a one-sided 'dialogue' which analyses Heidegger's considerations on the work of Norbert Wiener, the mathematician who coined the term 'cybernetics'. The philosopher's explicit critique and references made to Wiener in the 50's, seems to never have received a reply from the mathematician, but confrontation between them is clearly discovered through the way in which both interpret the arise and predominance of the information pattern in modern life. The third mode of dialogue follows direct and intense conversation between the philosopher and the physicist Karl-Friedrich von Weizsäcker -- one of Heidegger's interlocutors in the discussion on information in the 60's and with whom the philosopher actually engaged in a debate on the question of language. Despite what could be seen as a merely speculative approach, these three ways of dialogue, in a crescendo over three key periods of time, allows us to highlight a perspective to better understanding, not of antagonism, but of precisely the proximity between the 'question-worthy' of the philosopher and the query of the scientists. Ultimately, I propose to discuss philosophy and science in their ways of grasping informational reality. Therefore, I suggest we have to approach the subject of cybernetics on the grounds of Information Technology using the perspective of Heidegger's interpretation of the Heraclite's word in the closing passage of the Conversation: "Ἀγχιβασἰη: towards the near". Towards the near, in-between philosophy and science, is where we walk today. From this path, I conclude by briefly suggesting hints as to how to think about our informational times, illustrated by contemporary situations in which traditional philosophical questions are to be reassessed. * Martin Heidegger. Zur Erörterung der Gelassenheit: Aus einem Feldweggespräch über das Denken. Frankfurt: Klostermann, 1993. pp 37-74. First translated into English as "Conversation on a country path about thinking".

Famous quotes by Norbert Wiener:

"A single inattention may lose a chess game, whereas a single successful approach to a problem, among many which have been relegated to the wastebasket, will make a mathematician's reputation."

"The idea that information can be stored in a changing world without an overwhelming depreciation of its value is false. It is scarcely less false than the more plausible claim that after a war we may take our existing weapons, fill their barrels with information."

"The nervous system and the automatic machine are fundamentally alike in that they are devices, which make decisions on the basis of decisions they made in the past"

"To live effectively is to live with adequate information."

"The more we get out of the world the less we leave, and in the long run we shall have to pay our debts at a time that may be very inconvenient for our own survival"

"The modern physicist is a quantum theorist on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and a student of gravitational relativity theory on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Sunday he is praying. . . that someone will find the reconciliation between the two views."

"What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their experiments lead"

"Progress imposes not only new possibilities for the future but new restrictions"
