Contribution to the ontological status of information: Development of the structural-attributive approach

This paper proposes to appeal to the structural-attributive approach to help establish a useful ontological categorization of information. Specifically, it argues that a framework for library and information science (LIS) based on Stonier’s theory of information would be helpful, with the intention to advance one of the unfinished dialogues of LIS, the so-called Wiener’s problem, or statutum ontologicum. This proposal advocates the possibility of developing a theory based on the assumption that information is a basic property of the universe. Stonier’s perspective is an evolutionary type, so the basis of this research is interdisciplinary, such that his ideas can help describe the development of society in the information age. It also explains the two main categories or forms of information, which Stonier called “applied,” for the library scope. In other words, there are the information contained in a system and the transformed and processed information. He argues that information is an ontological category that exists independently of being perceived. This paper asserts that information characterizes the world in itself, since it is through it that all knowledge is obtained

This text has as its basic purpose, from plural perspectives, approach the phenomenon of information. The philosophy of information is, in fact, a proposal that calls for interdisciplinarity, as it believes that each perspective can shed light on certain aspects partial. My perspective seeks to respect the plurality, diversity and the lability of the processes that make up the informative reality (as that consider in its conceptual handling the complexity of this reality), addressing some of its most important aspects for the study of the librarianship. As primary approach is intended to enact in this paper that the philosophy of information should replace social epistemology as the discipline that substantiates the library. The hypothesis which it maintains that social epistemology has not been able to provide philosophical and theoretical library science, therefore, the philosophy of information should replace in that role fundamental. They have also been carefully scrutinized those attempts that have emerged within the library, with more or less success, to find alternatives on the basis of their theoretical body, which in the case of the philosophy of information can become fruitful. Some of these alternatives are seeking an approach more broadly shows the combination of processes of knowledge in the sciences and its convergence with the technological approach. The second objective a detailed explanation to answer the question of whether the library science is a "philosophy of information applied" under the understanding that a philosophy applied is not the same be presented to a pragmatic philosophy much less a theoretic. The argument is that under the Aristotelian scheme, the librarian do not operate on propositional knowledge or sensory, but praxis, or rather poiesis, so the librarian would be a homo poieticus. Accept that that librarianship is a philosophy of information applied involves demonstrating that the establishment of the philosophy of information as a fundamental discipline of library science, contribute to the achievement of the constitution as a science, and change the framework of social research to technological
