Abstract

One of the purposes of this paper is to inquire whether the theoretical (mathematical - logical) study of information can be tracked down to a single concept of information, or whether this study infallibly leads to several distinct concepts (of information). The philosophical interest of this inquiry is, to use an old and slightly infamous concept, self-evident.
