Design and the Philosophy of Information

I’m delighted to announce some good news in this post (after the recent spate of disheartening ones about recent events that I’ve felt compelled to write): the special issue on “Design and the Philosophy of Information” has just been published in Library Trends.

This is the third special issue in Library Trends on the topic of Luciano Floridi‘s PI project that has been edited by my friend, Ken Herold, and I believe that it will be essential reading for anyone interested in the philosophy of information today.

It’s an exciting issue from both well-known authors such as Archie Dick and Steve Fuller as well as newer ones such as Lin Wang, Jiaxuan Duan, Kathleen Lourdes B. Obille, and Aric Haas. It was a great pleasure to be involved in this issue, and I look forward to seeing how it is received!
