A novel way of looking at information challenges longstanding
dogmas-from a preeminent German thinker It is widely agreed that we
live in an "information age," but what exactly is information? This
small, seemingly facile question is in fact surprisingly difficult,
and it has occupied many of the best philosophical minds of the
modern age. In this wholly original addition to the quest to
understand information, German philosopher Peter Janich argues that
our understanding of information is based in the much broader
history of scientific naturalism-the belief that science is a
fundamental aspect of the world and not a human contrivance. His
novel critique of this widespread dogma grounds science in human
life practices and wrestles with the very fundamentals of the
scientific way of understanding reality. Offering new perspectives
on the major contemporary fields of communications technology,
neurobiology, and artificial intelligence, What Is Information?
provides a deep look into humanity in an information age. Its
arguments show ways of reconciling the sciences and the humanities,
shining new light on the relationship of science to the natural
world.
