Résumé

The present paper describes and discusses certain aspects of the evolution of cybernetics, with a focus on the Italian context. It considers the ways in which cybernetic questions relate to present issues of crucial importance. The aim will be to interpret cybernetics as an unfinished and interdisciplinary scientific paradigm, reflecting on the contribution represented by this specificity. Reference will be made to the figure of the Italian cyberneticist Eduardo Caianiello as a paradigmatic case.

One of Italy's leading cyberneticians, he was a professor of Theoretical Computer Science at the University of Palermo and of Cybernetics at the University of Perugia. From 2002 to 2009 he directed the 'Eduardo Caianiello' Institute of Cybernetics at the CNR in Naples.
