abstract
I. The first part contains an analysis of some principal notions of cybernetics fitting to be applied to the theory of control in society. Are defined the notions of control and of regulation and a more detailed analysis of the process of control is given (1. selection or choice from the set of behaviours of the controlled system, 2. communication, that means transmission of the information from the controlling system to the controlled one, 3. communication, that means trans mission of the information from the controlled system to the controlling one). The social systems of control are analysed as black boxes, usually very large and incompletely observable ones. The process of the control in society is analysed as a social experiment. The systems of control (to which belong as well the controlling as the controlled systems) are defined as complex, (relatively) stable, open dynamic systems of indeterminate nature, within which are going on the processes of the growth of organization (the growth of negative entropy), the process of control, which transfer the system from one state into another one and secure its stability (event, ultrastability) and the active homeostasis. II. The second part is devoted to the applicability of cybernetical methods and of the cybernetical analysis to the “essence of political relations in the control in society”. The impossibility or the unsuitableness of this application has not been proved in literature and is obviously improvable. Submitted to criticism is the priority given to political criteria in the process of social control before the productional, economic ones, this fact leading to disturbances in the social control and in the life of the society in general. The question of the so called social cybernetics is also brought into discussion and the necessity is emphasized to create a science having for its object the control in society, a science which practically still does not exist.
