Being Informative Information as Information Handling
نویسنده
چکیده
The core aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the benefits of a formal approach to information as being informative. It is argued that handling information-like objects can be seen as more fundamental than the notion of information itself. Starting from theories of semantic information, it is shown that these leave being informative out of the picture by choosing a logical framework which is essentially classical. Based on arguments in favour of logical pluralism, a formal approach of information handling inspired by non-classical logics is outlined.
