History of the concept of information a

Having recently in the digital commons have discussed the concept of information, a few interesting questions remain open. To understand the different facets of something better, a look at history the term may be useful. Amazingly, in recent decades has not been an enormous amount of research to do so. We are interested to take an earlier work by Capurro (1)

In ancient Greece, the landscape concept of information has been prepared. Since several of impressing the image of a form was used in soft wax. The semantic field of the form, outline, and the Formative Embossed was still covered by various terms, which are then included in the Latin informatio . Capurro mentions in his study three, namely Typos (now in typography), morphology (in morphology) and Idea (idea)

The Greek antiquity has developed aspects that shape today with the ideas of information:

• The concept of information was (and is) depends on the epistemology. If Plato posits a strict separation between the world of ideas and those of empirical observations, is an entirely different concept of information out such as in Aristotle.
  
• show in the Antiquity, already various fields, for which a concept of information is used. Education (transfer of knowledge and standards), philosophy (epistemology, ontology as a question of being), biology (which is formed in which the generation process). Added to this is an artistic craft area.
  
• The question for the characters (language and writing) and to processes of communication is present. The latter example in the Greek concept of the message. The shares with the modern concept of information on an aspect of public event broadcast and a structure-messenger-receiver.

Got it? Not to me. Because information is so central, it hangs just before the Internet age, together with all possible aspects of life.

Islam Panorama

The Islamic world is in the public eye. Because not only are the large oil deposits. Some of these companies suffer from unstable political conditions, such as Lebanon and Pakistan. The whole region shows little inclination to a sweeping Upgrading unit and now against India and China behind.

Who wants to deal with the long-term background of the present situation is well served with a recent book. Gudrun Krämer outlined in its "history of Islam," the varied development of Islamic civilization. Despite the wealth of information, the book is easy to read and illustrated with interesting illustrations.
