Product Description:
The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Information provides a comprehensive exploration of the philosophy of information, an increasingly important field in contemporary philosophy. As society grows more reliant on information and communication technologies, the philosophical implications of information become ever more relevant.
This Handbook offers an outstanding reference source on the key topics and debates surrounding the philosophy of information. It is the first collection to offer such an extensive treatment of the subject, featuring contributions from a team of international experts.

-
Basic Ideas: This section provides foundational concepts in the philosophy of information, introducing readers to essential theories and frameworks.
-
Quantitative and Formal Aspects: Focuses on mathematical and formal elements of information theory, including discussions on probability, logic, and the representation of information.
-
Natural and Physical Aspects: Explores the physical dimensions of information, its role in nature, and its relation to the physical world.
