Information and the World Stage: From Philosophy to Science, the World of Forms and Communications

Modern science is at a tipping point. A new page in the history of knowledge opens with the information paradigm , a notion which is gradually supplanting the old mechanistic vision inherited from Galileo and Newton.

The author presents an overview of the place of information and communications in our time, explaining some reasons for focusing on these two notions. All areas of knowledge are concerned: philosophy, social sciences, biology, medicine, as well as physics, the so-called queen of sciences , from quantum to cosmos.

This book is intended for scientific scholars as well as those with just a general interest who are anxious to understand the major evolutions that are taking shape in fields of knowledge in the 21st Century.
