The widespread interest this book has found among professors,
scientists and stu dents working in a variety of fields has made a
new edition necessary. I have used this opportunity to add three
new chapters on recent developments. One of the most fascinating
fields of modern science is cognitive science which has become a
meet ing place of many disciplines ranging from mathematics over
physics and computer science to psychology. Here, one of the
important links between these fields is the concept of information
which, however, appears in various disguises, be it as Shan non
information or as semantic information (or as something still
different). So far, meaning seemed to be exorcised from Shannon
information, whereas meaning plays a central role in semantic (or
as it is sometimes called "pragmatic") information. In the new
chapter 13 it will be shown, however, that there is an important
interplay between Shannon and semantic information and that, in
particular, the latter plays a decisive role in the fixation of
Shannon information and, in cognitive processes, al lows a drastic
reduction of that information. A second, equally fascinating and
rapidly developing field for mathematicians, computer scientists
and physicists is quantum information and quantum computa tion. The
inclusion of these topics is a must for any modern treatise dealing
with in formation. It becomes more and more evident that the
abstract concept of informa tion is inseparably tied up with its
realizations in the physical world."
