Cybernetic interpretation of the history and question of modern revolutions

The paper discusses an application of cybernetic notions to interpretations to the history of society. The text is divided into two parts according to two different though closely related topics - that of philosophical levels of the historical knowledge viewed from the cybernetic angle and that of the cybernetic interpretation of the modern revolutions. In the Part One, the author analyses major problems of the philosophy of history, its levels, languages and connexions with metaphysics (including epistemology or the theory of knowledge). If seems admissible to distinguish two major levels of historical knowledge: (1) that of interpretation of the philosophy of history divided into three different sub-levels: a) the universal (cosmic), b) the global (terrestrial) and c) the special (particular); and (2) that of more specific historical researches. In the Part Two the last case is discussed in detail using the example of revolutions considered as an aspect of the modern history (during last four or five centuries); the necessary conditions of the phenomenon of revolution are described and analysed. There are three revolutionary ages according to the dominant ideology, viz. the Reformation's (religious Protestant), the Enlightenment's (liberal democratic) and the Communist (socialist totalitarian). The phenomenon of revolution is explained as a consequence of a substantial loss of societal equilibrium or steady (stable) state in consequence of too rapid adoption - without an appropriate adaptation of the dynamic or circulant information (knowledges, know-how's, goals, values, etc...) and possibly also the incorporated or fixed one (in form of tools, technologies etc.) received both from (an) alien civilization(s).
