Talk:Information metabolism

As far as I know, A.Kepinski alone created theory of information metabolism. Many terms and ideas adopted to socionics, but information metabolism is not very familiar with socionics. Part about socionics should be much lesser (in fact, only a note), because information metabolism is independent theory (note about MBTI removed, because it absolutly has no relation with it). I think this arcticle is at least very inaccurate and would be great if someone would expand it essentialy (we are probably not able to do anything without Polish-speaking users help, because most of the information is in Polish).

One could read prof. dr. A.Kokoszka's publications about information metabolism in Medline. Unex 02:15, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I moved the article to Energy (esotericism) on account of the fact that Kepinski borrowed his whole of the information metabolism theory from the esoteric basis of tattwas, chakras, and psychic energy. --Rmcnew (talk) 19:45, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Cognitive research

There are a number of persons who are investigating information metabolism using empirical studies. (I've seen several peer reviewed articles). We need to mention those here because IM really is an emerging field in cognitive science. Tcaudilllg (talk) 20:54, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Information metabolism is solely based on esoteric understandings of psychic energy. In fact, both Jung and Freud also had theories about psychic energy. It just happens that Kapenski's theory formed the basis behind socionics. Although, it would be interesting to see how these empiracle studies attempt to disassociate esoteric ideas from the research. I don't really think it is possible without forming pseudoscientific speculations. --Rmcnew (talk) 18:44, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Kępiński's conception of information metabolism is different from the one developed by Aushra Augusta, but it must be admitted she was strongly inspired by him. Therefore, when Kępiński says "energy" he very rarely means "psychic energy" or "libido" and when he does, he lets his reader know. Basically he speaks of energy metabolism in terms of physics understanding of energy and even quotes Schrodinger in "The Rhythm of life". Speaking about socionics, it must be noted that Augusta took from him the concept of statics and dynamics, which he describes in greatest detail in "Psychopaties". As for the cognitive science, Ceklarz noticed that Kępiński's theory is very similar to Antonio Damasio's theory of consciousness but as I understand it, it is rather philosophy than science. I wish there were english translation of his works. They are pretty interesting Pancarlos (talk) 21:59, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
