Luciano Floridi e os problemas filosóficos da informação: da representação à modelização

Abstract

In the context of critical reconstruction of the current conceptions about knowledge and information, this paper analyzes the Floridi approach of this issue, through its map of problems in the philosophy of information. Other texts of the author are uses, as the map of semantic information, when contributed to the understanding of his point of view. It is considered that the choice of constructivism, the subordination of epistemology to the philosophy of information and the rejection of the association of information with representation, are part of the author's effort to sustain that the validation of knowledge depends on information, and the validity of the information depends on modeling process based on data.
