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.
