The pantheistic aspect of Peirce’s philosophy is that he sees the evolutionary processes and habits of the universe as evolutionary love. In his hylozoic theory, mind is feeling on the inside and on the outside it can be seen as spontaneity, chance and chaos with a tendency to take habits, which is the law of mind manifesting itself as thoughts. Peircean semiotics delivers a phenomenological, realistic as well as naturalistic framework. Nevertheless Bateson’s theory of “Steps to an ecology of mind” as cybernetic recursive processes did not include first person experiences and qualia. Bateson developed a conception of God as an immanent informational pattern that connects everything in a cybernetic pantheism. The informational cybernetics of Gregory Bateson aims to change the understanding of evolution, ecology, mind and nature and the divine. Cybernetics and information theory offers an alternative view on science to classical mechanistic physics with its mind–body dualism or eliminative materialism. Classical mechanicism viewed the world as a self-sufficient machine made by God, but not a part of God or with God’s presence in it.
