Information studies without information

Information studies without information. Furner, J. Library Trends, 52(3):427--446, 2004.
abstract bibtex

IN PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE, the phenomena fundamental to human communication are routinely modeled in ways that do not require commit- ment to a concept of "information" separate from those of "data," "mean- ing," "communication," "knowledge," and "relevance" (inter alia). A tax- onomy of conceptions of information may be developed that relies on commonly drawn philosophical distinctions (between linguistic, mental, and physical entities, between objects and events, and between particulars and universals); in such a taxonomy, no category requires the label "infor- mation" in order to be differentiated from others. It is suggested that a conception of information-as-relevance is currently the most productive of advances in theoretical information studies.
