Cybernetics and Human Knowing

Cybernetics and Human Knowing: A Journal of Second Order Cybernetics, Autopoiesis & Cyber-Semiotics is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering autopoiesis, biosemiotics, cognition, complexity, cybersemiotics, hermeneutics, information theory, linguistics, second-order cybernetics, semiotics, and systems theory, among others. The journal was established in 1992 and is published by Imprint Academic with Søren Brier (Copenhagen Business School) as editor-in-chief.

Aiming to be "a meeting place for those developing cybernetic and semiotic theory with those doing cybernetics and systemic work"[1] the journal's inception was initially supported by the Danish Academy for Practical Philosophy and the American Society for Cybernetics (ASC) with contributing editors and funding (ASC).[2] The journal usually offers six different sections: the issue editors' foreword, peer-reviewed articles, an expert column, an ASC column,[3] book reviews, and a featured artist artworks. Occasionally the journal dedicates an issue to publish conference proceedings and special topics.

Among it's founding editors we find Klaus Krippendorff,[4] Francisco Varela,[5] and Rodney Donaldson, the first American Society for Cybernetics president to contribute to the journal.[6] Ranulph Glanville was one of the journal's main contributors, writing "for 21 years from 1994 until 2015 a regular column as well as other articles (totalling 60)".[7]
