Abstract

The history of encyclopedias and wholly new forms of encyclopedias are briefly reviewed. The possibilities and problems that hypertext presents as a basis for new forms of encyclopedias are explored. The capabilities of current systems, both experimental and commercially available, are outlined, focusing on new possibilities for authoring and design and for reading the retrieval. Examples of applications already making use of hypertext are given.

Rez. in: Frankfurter Rundschau. Nr.100 vom 30.4./1.5.2003, S.WB5 (ruf):"'Wissensgesellschaft'" - ein Gegenbegriff zum technizistischen Begriff der Informationsgesellschaft? Die Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung jedenfalls macht sich im Vorfeld des UN-Gipfels zur Informationsgesellschaft im Dezember für das Konzept einer Wissensgesellschaft stark. Erste Umrisse einer solchen Gesellschaft sind skizziert in einem von der Stiftung herausgegebenen Buch. Interessanterweise schreiben in dem Band nicht nur Wissenschaftler, sondern auch ein Kunstkritiker und eine freischaffende Künstlerin. Eine gemeinsame Begriffsdefinition existiert jedoch nicht. "Was meinen wir eigentlich, wenn wir vom "Wissen" in der "Wissensgesellschaft" sprechen?" fragt sich auch Autor Andre Gorz. "Schon bei Marx herrschte große Unklarheit. Er verwendet beliebig Ausdrücke wie Wissen", Intellekt", "Knowledge", die allgemeinen Mächte des menschlichen Kopfes", der allgemeine Stand der Wissenschaft". "Wissen" bezeichnet bei ihm oft die menschliche Fähigkeit, die Natur zu beherrschen und als Produktivkraft einzuspannen. Das allerdings verbinden die Herausgeber und Autoren des Bandes mit dem Begriff gewisslich nicht. Der Erziehungswissenschaftler Gerhard de Haan und Andreas Poltermann von der Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung beispielsweise kritisieren die Ökonomisierung und damit einhergehende Monopolisierung von Wissen. Sie drängen darauf, Wissen als kulturelles Kapital allgemein zugänglich zu machen. Dies setze die "ökonomische, mentale und von den Zeitbudgets abgesicherte Fähigkeit des Individuums voraus, einen Zugang zu Wissen zu finden". Wissensgesellschaft als Utopie also? Wer über das Zeitbudget und die Ausbildung verfügt, 349 Seiten mit komplexen theoretischen Texten zu lesen, wird in dem Buch lohnenswerte Denkanstöße finden. Alle anderen müssen vielleicht noch ein wenig warten - bis entweder der allgemeine Zugang zu Wissen gesellschaftlich realisiert ist oder aber die Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung ihr Konzept der Wissensgesellschaft in allgemein zugänglicher Form präsentiert."

Abstract

Was Eltern zu einer derartigen Selektion motivieren könnte, muss für ihn nicht begründet werden. Präferenzen oder "Minderschätzungen" seien nicht schon deshalb moralisch unstatthaft, weil sie "konformistisch, unaufgeklärt oder illusionär" seien. Einwände der Art, nur weil ein Merkmal eines Embryos den EItern nicht gefalle, dürfe man ihn nicht töten, würde Birnbacher als Utilitarist zurückweisen, da er Menschen ein starkes Lebensrecht erst nach der Geburt zuerkennt. Die Erfüllung vorhandener Präferenzen ungeachtet ihrer moralischen Qualität sei wichtiger als der Respekt vor potenziellen Personen. Die Tötung von Nicht-Geborenen sei statthaft, da ein ungeborenes Kind noch "ohne Bewusstsein von Leben und Tod [ist] und deshalb den ihm im Zuge der Selektion auferlegten Tod nicht fürchten kann". Diese - von vielen für skandalös erachtete - Position gründet darin, dass der Utilitarismus nur indirekte Argumente gegen das Töten anerkennen kann. Gegen die technisch immer näher rückende Selektionspraxis lässt Birnbacher allein das Kränkungs-Argument gelten, das besagt, dass sich lebende Träger eines Merkmals, das selegiert wird, gekränkt fühlen könnten. Die utilitaristische Ethik erkennt eben keine absoluten normativen Grenzen an, wenn deren Verletzung einen Zugewinn an Präferenzerfüllung oder Interessenbefriedigung ("Glück") verspricht. Als philosophisch weiterführend könnte sich Wolfgang Spohns (Konstanz) beeindruckender Vorstoß ins "All der Gründe" erweisen. Spohns Ansatz scheint es zu erlauben, philosophische Grundprobleme (Schein und Sein, Apriorität, Kohärenz, Wahrheit, Essenzen) auf argumentationstheoretischer Basis zu reformulieren. Spohn weckt große Neugierde auf den von ihm angekündigten "bedächtigen und umsichtigen Nachvollzug" seiner "tour de force". Die Bedeutung des Argumentierens könnte ungeachtet aller Bekenntnisse zum "Diskurs" in Zukunft schwinden. Wolfram Hogrebe (Bonn) sieht gegenwärtig eine zunehmende Überlagerung von Sprache durch immer trivialere Bilderwelten. "Dieses Jahrhundert begann mit Bewusstsein, verausgabte sich an die Sprache und endet im Bild." Diese Visualisierungen seien Teil einer "kollektiven Infantilisierung", für die sich im Alltag und in den Medien reichlich Belege finden. Hogrebe setzt auf die Widerstandspotenziale autonomer Kunst. Auch der Philosophie kommt die Aufgabe zu, der Unterordnung diskursiver Rationalität unter beliebig herstellbare Bilderwelten zu widerstehen. Wie viele Verbündete sie hierbei noch findet, bleibt abzuwarten

Abstract

For decades, we have been told we live in the "information age"-a time when disruptive technological advancement has reshaped the categories and social uses of knowledge and when quantitative assessment is increasingly privileged. Such methodologies and concepts of information are usually considered the provenance of the natural and social sciences, which present them as politically and philosophically neutral. Yet the humanities should and do play an important role in interpreting and critiquing the historical, cultural, and conceptual nature of information. This book is one of two companion volumes that explore theories and histories of information from a humanistic perspective. They consider information as a long-standing feature of social, cultural, and conceptual management, a matter of social practice, and a fundamental challenge for the humanities today. Information: A Reader provides an introduction to the concept of information in historical, literary, and cultural studies. It features excerpts from more than forty texts by theorists and critics who have helped establish the notion of the "information age" or expand upon it. The reader establishes a canonical framework for thinking about information in humanistic terms. Together with Information: Keywords, it sets forth a major humanistic vision of the concept of information.

Abstract

Luciano Floridi's 1999 monograph, Philosophy and Computing: An Introduction, provided the impetus for the theme of this issue, more for what it did not say about librarianship and information studies (LIS) than otherwise. Following the pioneering works of Wilson, Nitecki, Buckland, and Capurro (plus many of the authors of this issue), researchers in LIS have increasingly turned to the efficacy of philosophical discourse in probing the more fundamental aspects of our theories, including those involving the information concept. A foundational approach to the nature of information, however, has not been realized, either in partial or accomplished steps, nor even as an agreed, theoretical research objective. It is puzzling that while librarianship, in the most expansive sense of all LIS-related professions, past and present, at its best sustains a climate of thought, both comprehensive and nonexclusive, information itself as the subject of study has defied our abilities to generalize and synthesize effectively. Perhaps during periods of reassessment and justification for library services, as well as in times of curricular review and continuing scholarly evaluation of perceived information demand, the necessity for every single stated position to be clarified appears to be exaggerated. Despite this, the important question does keep surfacing as to how information relates to who we are and what we do in LIS.

Abstract

This book addresses some of the key questions that scientists have been asking themselves for centuries: what is knowledge? What is information? How do we know that we know something? How do we construct meaning from the perceptions of things? Although no consensus exists on a common definition of the concepts of information and communication, few can reject the hypothesis that information - whether perceived as « object » or as « process » - is a pre-condition for knowledge. Epistemology is the study of how we know things (anglophone meaning) or the study of how scientific knowledge is arrived at and validated (francophone conception). To adopt an epistemological stance is to commit oneself to render an account of what constitutes knowledge or in procedural terms, to render an account of when one can claim to know something. An epistemological theory imposes constraints on the interpretation of human cognitive interaction with the world. It goes without saying that different epistemological theories will have more or less restrictive criteria to distinguish what constitutes knowledge from what is not. If information is a pre-condition for knowledge acquisition, giving an account of how knowledge is acquired should impact our comprehension of information and communication as concepts. While a lot has been written on the definition of these concepts, less research has attempted to establish explicit links between differing theoretical conceptions of these concepts and the underlying epistemological stances. This is what this volume attempts to do. It offers a multidisciplinary exploration of information and communication as perceived in different disciplines and how those perceptions affect theories of knowledge.

Abstract

For several decades Rafael Capurro has been at the forefront of defining the relationship between information and modernity through both phenomenological and ethical formulations. In exploring both of these themes Capurro has re-vivified the transcultural and intercultural expressions of how we bring an understanding of information to bear on scientific knowledge production and intermediation. Capurro has long stressed the need to look deeply into how we contextualize the information problems that scientific society creates for us and to re-incorporate a pragmatic dimension into our response that provides a balance to the cognitive turn in information science. With contributions from 35 scholars from 15 countries, Information Cultures in the Digital Age focuses on the culture and philosophy of information, information ethics, the relationship of information to message, the historic and semiotic understanding of information, the relationship of information to power and the future of information education. This Festschrift seeks to celebrate Rafael Capurro's important contribution to a global dialogue on how information conceptualization, use and technology impact human culture and the ethical questions that arise from this dynamic relationship.
