The analysis of the decision-making process in mechanistic and cybernetic concepts of human being

There are discussed two models of human reactions to stimuli from the environment. In the mechanistic model, the decision-making process is determined and triggered by internal power, and this is fueled by the acquisition of external goods. In the cybernetic model, man is an autonomous system, i.e. equipped with so-called homeostat, which regulates the processing of information from outside, according to his own purpose to influence the environment. Both models are compared in terms of the effect of the decision. While the man-machine regulates the state of the environment in overcoming conflict in it, the man-autonom has a wider field of action to modify the state of the environment, according to his own goal. In both models, however, there is no room for a value system that motivates the decision-making process.
