I've taken some notes, or made some comments, on the text: notes.itinerariummentis.org/share/qJKxpNfXeugv While Ruyer is really good at finding out good examples to make his point, his thought doesn't go deep enough, and it stumbles before words like "meaning" which seem to be a sort of substitute for some metaphysical entity that is wholly mysterious. The proposed solution, given by Ruyer, to the problem of the origin of information, while in his words is to abandon some form of "Platonism" (a crude interpretation), is still essentially Platonism, in that meaning and value is put in a transcendental world ("trans-spacial world"). The Mind here do not create ex nihilo, but it channels the transcendental to the physical - this is full-blooded Platonism, but with some modifications done by Neo-Platonists ("emanation") or by the Peripatetics (active-passive distinction, telos versus efficient cause). On these points I've already pointed out in the notes. Still Ruyer's examples, while lengthy and hard to tolerate its verbosity, are genuinely good.
