The Philosophy of Information brings together the most important perspectives on information. It includes major technical approaches, while also setting out the historical backgrounds of information as well as its contemporary role in many academic fields. Also, special unifying topics are high-lighted that play across many fields, while we also aim at identifying relevant themes for philosophical reflection. There is no established area yet of Philosophy of Information, and this Handbook can help shape one, making sure it is well grounded in scientific expertise. As a side benefit, a book like this can facilitate contacts and collaboration among diverse academic milieus sharing a common interest in information.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e2 Philosophy and information \u003cbr\u003e3 Foundation, Major technical approaches \u003cbr\u003e4 Informatics: Major themes in transforming\/using information \u003cbr\u003e5 Information in the Sciences \u0026amp; Humanities   \u003cbr\u003e6 Epilogue, future perspectives and research directions (Editors)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Mathematics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Mathematics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Mathematics%20%5BPB%5D%22\"\u003ePB\u003c\/a\u003e], Philosophy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Philosophy%20%5BHP%5D%22\"\u003eHP\u003c\/a\u003e], Information theory [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Information theory\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Information%20theory%20%5BGPF%5D%22\"\u003eGPF\u003c\/a\u003e], Reference works [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Reference works\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Reference%20works%20%5BGBC%5D%22\"\u003eGBC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"North Holland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648849269016,"sku":"9780444517265","price":146.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780444517265.jpg?v=1694980005","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/philosophy-of-information-hardback-9780444517265","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
