摘要
在2010年8月于北京举行的第四届国际信息科学基础大会上,西安交通大学的邬焜教授首次以英语形式,简明提交了他三十年来的信息哲学研究成果。邬焜的理论聚焦于信息的本体论属性及其对于恰当理解信息之社会功能的重要性。随后,布伦纳和邬焜发现布伦纳近年来对于现实过程(包含信息)之逻辑(现实逻辑;LIR)的扩展,由于应用相同的规范性原理,因而与邬焜的信息哲学和自然逻辑进路相互支持。邬焜的信息元哲学将信息看作所有学科的一个批评性组分,超越了它们特有的科学内容。它描绘了一种态度或立场,即要求关注作为一种方法论必然性的复杂过程之信息方面,邬焜称这种态度为信息思维。在其早期著作中,邬焜看到了系统理论的重要性及其与信息的关系。在其与此相关的纲要(英文)以及更多近来的著作中,邬焜表明了信息概念是如何深化和超越这些时常模糊的系统科学之根基的。信息思维所代表的新的科学和哲学的新范式,相比于其他从系统和复杂性观点出发的主流进路具有更为基础性的地位。
At the 4th International Conference on the Foundations of Information Science held in Beijing in August 2010, Professor Wu Kun, from the Xi＇an Jiaotong University, presented, for the first time in English, the results of last thirty years of research on the theory and philosophy of information. Wu＇s normative principles apply. Wu＇s Metaphilosophy of Information positions information as a critical com- ponent of all disciplines, beyond the scientific content specific to them. It describes art attitude or stance, which we have termed the Informational Stance, requiring attention to the informational aspects of complex processes as a methodological necessity, an attitude that Wu calls Informational Thinking. Early in his work, Wu saw the importance of systems theory, and its relation to information. In （Eng- lish） summaries of this and more recent works, Wu shows how informational concepts deepen and go be- yond the sometimes nebulous foundations of systematic science. The theories described in this paper may thus constitute part of a new informational paradigm, in which information has a central, more funda- mental role as compared to other major current approaches from the systems and complexity stand- points.
