Meet the Author Series: The Evolutionary Dynamics of Discursive
Knowledge: Communication-Theoretical Perspectives on an Empirical
Philosophy of Science July 28, 2022 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM (EDT)
Description
The book brings together three themes which have been central to my
research program: (1) the dynamics of science, technology, and
innovation; (2) the scientometric operationalization and measurement of
these dynamics; and (3) the Triple Helix (TH) of
university-industry-government relations. I relate these three themes
first from an autobiographical perspective to (i)) Luhmann’s
sociological theory about meaning-processing in communications with (ii)
information-theoretical operationalizations of the possible synergies in
Triple-Helix relations, and with (iii) anticipation as a selection
mechanism in cultural evolutions different from “natural selection.”
Interacting selection mechanisms can drive the development of
redundancy; that is, options that are available, but have not yet been
used. An increasing number of options is crucial for the viability of
innovation systems more than is past performance. A calculus of
redundancy different from and complementary to information calculus is
envisaged.The webinar focuses on his book entitled “The Evolutionary
Dynamics of Discursive Knowledge: .” (The book is freely available at
