Voprosy Filosofii (Russian: Вопросы философии, Problems of Philosophy) is a Soviet and Russian scientific and theoretical philosophical peer-reviewed academic journal. It was established in July 1947 under the guidance of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Bonifaty Kedrov was one of its initiators and held the position of editor in chief from 1947 to 1949. [1]

Discussion of cybernetics

"Whom Does Cybernetics Serve?" was an anonymous article from "Materialist" which appeared in No. 5, 1953, (pp. 210–219). They attacked cybernetics as a "misanthropic pseudotheory", "a sterile flower on the tree of knowledge generated as a result of the one-sided and unbounded exaggeration of one of the demons of knowledge."[2] Two years later the magazine published "The Main Features of Cybernetics" by Sergei Sobolev, Alexey Lyapunov and Anatoly Kitov which defended Cybernetics against the unwarranted criticism by philosophers of what they regarded as a bono-fide science.[3]

gollark: If part of your concern is institutional racism or whatever, how are law changes going to fix it?

gollark: No, that is *a thing they do*, but the general point of them is to enforce laws, which happens most of the time.

gollark: Yes, some police do bad things, but that doesn't mean all of them do, so "What good things do either us police or army do" is very hyperbolic.

gollark: I mean, they are mostly not... randomly arresting people due to incorrect skin melanin content.

gollark: Well, obviously the police... enforce the law, roughly.
