The paper presents the analysis of the philosophical roots of cybernetic thinking and its links to the important scientific trends. The programs launched by cybernetics have justified the accents placed on 'intentionality', 'teleological worlds', 'worlds of the artificial'. The founder of cybernetics, Norbert Wiener, emphasized what he called 'human use' or 'human dimensions' of cybernetics and its applications.
