Philosophy of information: indications and reflections

Philosophy cannot restrict itself solely to the search for truth. Information Science is not only a support. In the 21st. Century, thought finds itself before dilemmas which had been ignored or unknown up to now. Subjection and testing of "new" thoughts, occur through crises and ruptures. The processes of "getting to know" the knowledge or "of thinking" the thought, undoubtedly have been, and are, important stages in the development of what we understand as being the total human knowledge. Seeking to understand and to insert the very information related to those processes, the present article proposes a philosophy that will reflect upon such information, namely, a Philosophy of Information.
