Our mentor - the father of cybernetics
" Stefan Odobleja could be considered not only a Socrate of our
times, but also a second Columb, because he had the same destiny:
to discover the America of science and at the end
this America got another name, not his."
(I.C.Dragan)
________________________________________
Stefan Odobleja, the creator of psychocybernetics and the father of generalised cybernetics was born on the 13'th of october 1902 in the house of some poor and illiterate peasants from Izvorul Anestilor - Mehedinti.
He went to the high school in Drobeta Turnu Severin and to the college in Bucharest. He became a military doctor.
His most important creation "The consonantist psychology" was presented in Psychological Abstracts (1941) but it didn't receive the deserved echo.
The cybernetic model, begining from obsevations, intuition and rationality, created by Odobleja in 1938-1939, but used (as we know) ten years later, in the american literature and then in the european one, was used and applied in many scientific fields.
Begining with 1972, when he read Norbert Wiener's autobiography, Stefan Odobleja devoted his time to prove that the origin of cybernetics is in psychology. He published a special creation named "The consonantist psychology and cybernetics".
He died on the 4'th of september 1978 in misery.
His work was better appreciated after his death - in 1982 began the establishment of Stefan Odobleja General Cybernetics Academy and the participants (from Romania and from foreign countries) decided to establish such an Academy in Switzerland too.
In all his work, Odobleja tried to answer the questions based on old enigmas.
His true value was discussed and recognised all over the world with appreciations like :
"You have a golden man, he deserves
a golden statue".
