Abstract

We live in a society that is awash with information, but few of us really understand what information is. In this Very Short Introduction, one of the world's leading authorities on the philosophy of information and on information ethics, Luciano Floridi, offers an illuminating exploration of information as it relates to both philosophy and science. He discusses the roots of the concept of information in mathematics and science, and considers the role of information in several fields, including biology. Floridi also discusses concepts such as "Infoglut" (too much information to process) and the emergence of an information society, and he addresses the nature of information as a communication process and its place as a physical phenomenon. Perhaps more important, he explores information's meaning and value, and ends by considering the broader social and ethical issues relating to information, including problems surrounding accessibility, privacy, ownership, copyright, and open source. This book helps us understand the true meaning of the concept and how it can be used to understand our world. About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

Abstract

"Information" ist einer der wichtigsten Begriffe der modernen Wissenschaft. Damit ist nicht nur gemeint, dass wir im Zeitalter digitaler Informationsverarbeitung durch Computer leben, sondern dass wir Information überall entdecken können: So werden aus Nullen und Einsen soziale Netzwerke und aus Marktplätzen »hochkomplexe Informationssysteme«. Von der Quantenphysik bis zur Evolutionstheorie, vom abstrakten algorithmischen und nachrichtentechnischen Begriff zur experimentellen Hirnforschung zeigt Klaus Mainzer, wie die unterschiedlichen Formen von Information miteinander zusammenhängen.
