The concept of information has long been a subject of debate among philosophers, with many contending that it is a fundamental aspect of the world and not a human contrivance. However, German philosopher Peter Janich challenges this widely held belief in his novel addition to the quest to understand information. Janich argues that our understanding of information is rooted in the broader history of scientific naturalism, which holds that science is a fundamental aspect of the world and not a human creation.
In his critique of this widespread dogma, Janich grounds science in human life practices and wrestles with the very fundamentals of the scientific way of understanding reality. He offers new perspectives on the major contemporary fields of communications technology, neurobiology, and artificial intelligence, providing a deep look into humanity in an information age.
Through his arguments, Janich shows ways of reconciling the sciences and the humanities, shining new light on the relationship of science to the natural world. He challenges the notion that information is a purely abstract concept and instead proposes that it is deeply intertwined with our experiences and interactions with the world.
What Is Information? is a thought-provoking and innovative book that will appeal to anyone interested in the nature of information and the role of science in understanding the world. Janich's novel critique of scientific naturalism offers a fresh perspective on the complex and evolving field of information studies, and his arguments will continue to be debated and discussed for years to come.
