Description

Information and communication technology occupies a central place in the modern world, with society becoming increasingly dependent on it every day. It is therefore unsurprising that it has become a growing subject area in contemporary philosophy, which relies heavily on informational concepts. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Information is an outstanding reference source to the key topics and debates in this exciting subject and is the first collection of its kind. Comprising over thirty chapters by a team of international contributors the Handbook is divided into four parts:

  • basic ideas
  • quantitative and formal aspects
  • natural and physical aspects
  • human and semantic aspects.

Within these sections central issues are examined, including probability, the logic of information, informational metaphysics, the philosophy of data and evidence, and the epistemic value of information.

The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Information is essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy, computer science and communication studies.



About the Author
Luciano Floridi is Professor of Philosophy and Ethics of Information, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford, UK.

Reviews

"Some of the discussed topics include probability, computation, mathematical theories of information, semantics information, truth-value of information, quantum information, causality, the representation of information in biological entities, and information in law and art. The result is a volume that is simultaneously accessible, comprehensive, and well balanced. A wide range of readers can benefit from these essays. (...) Summing Up: Recommended. All readers."

- D. Bantz, University of Alaska in CHOICE

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
