Dear Pedro, Dear Joseph, Dear Ted, Dear Krassimir, Dear FIS Colleagues,
Sorry. I think, any science in whole discipline on world is information
science, in other words, all sciences are science about information.
Floridi.L wrote, Information has thus arisen as a concept as fundamental
and important as “being”, “knowledge”, “life”, “intelligence”, “meaning”
or “good and evil”—all pivotal concepts with which it is interdependent
and so equally worthy of autonomous investigation. It is also a more
impoverished concept, in terms of which the other can be expressed and
interrelated, when not defined. In this sense, Evans was right: Evans
had the idea that there is a much cruder and more fundamental concept
than that of knowledge on which philosophers have concentrated so much,
namely the concept of information. (Luciano Floridi: "What is the
Philosophy of Information?" 2002.) But I think that information cover
“being”, “knowledge”, “life”, “intelligence”, “meaning” or “good and evil”.
Information is considered an ambiguity used confusedly. Information
actually can be both material and mental, existing or conscious,
produced or received, true or false, real or fictitious, right or wrong,
remembered or forgotten, known or unknown; it can exist objectively but
cannot be perceived subjectively, or vice versa; and it can be powerful
or weak, have tangible or intangible value, and so on. True information
is mingled with false, and sometimes it appears while sometimes it
disappears. So, information, conventionally understood, is
self-contradictory.
In 1948 Wiener put forward, “Information is information, not matter or
energy.” What is the Information? This “Wiener maze” has been 60 years
since the essential attributes of information were explored in the field
of philosophy. I think, Information is the collection of three kinds of
attributes of things.( Tian-qing Qiao. Definition and Essence of
Information. tripleC 9(2): 342-346, 2011 ISSN 1726-670X
http://www.triple-c.at) Otherwise, never shall we understand the concept
“information”.

Search for the Soul. 1994.)
