Abstract

MORAN REYES, Ariel Antonio. Review of the Wiener's Problem or of Ontological Status of Information. Rev. Interam. Bibliot [online]. 2015, vol.38, n.1, pp.65-78. ISSN 0120-0976.

The construct called ''information'' is a powerful and privileged but elusive and blurry concept. Wiener's problem tries to elucidate the fragmented nature of this concept, taking it apart from a merely physicalist point of view denying its hylemorphic condition. This paper examines surrounding and tangential issues regarding the ontological status of information and states a noetic notion on such concept, therefore serving as a basis for informational studies and science. The target is not only ending the discussion but stating a meticulous analysis, - from the information philosophy perspective- articulating some of the unfinished library science discussions.

Keywords : Information theory; Library science fundamentals; Information philosophy.
