The Phenomenon of Information : Scarecrow Press : 9780810859425 : 0810859424 : 11 Jun 2007 : The Phenomenon of Information addresses the problems of how information is conveyed, how to identify its characteristics, and how to define the mechanisms for describing it. To do this Mario Perez-Montoro examines such theoretical approaches to the phenomenon of information as the mathematical theory of communication, Dretske's approach, and the relational theory of meaning. A critique of these efforts leads to the author's definition of informational content. Named "the extensional approach," Perez-Montoro's theory overcomes the conceptual limitations of previous theories and serves as a basis on which a satisfactory analysis of the concept of information can be developed.
