Information as a Second Independent Pillar

  • Walter Hehl

摘要

Information processing is explained as the second pillar of the world alongside physics. It is shown that it encompasses all that is living and all that is intellectual. We (attempt to) show that the concept of the computer also applies to us humans and is not a devaluation of the human being. The dualism of physics/informatics replaces Descartes’ matter/mind dualism. We call the combination of physics and informatics naturalism.
