The Logic of Information: A Theory of Philosophy as Conceptual Design

Luciano Floridi presents an innovative approach to philosophy, conceived as conceptual design. He explores how we make, transform, refine, and improve the objects of our knowledge. His starting point is that reality provides the data, to be understood as constraining affordances, and we transform them into information, like semantic engines. From there, Floridi articulates and defends the innovative thesis that knowledge is design and philosophy is the ultimate form of conceptual design.
