Reductive Phycialist View About The Information

Information philosophy has experienced 40 years of development in China.With the hard work of many scholars,many rich research results have been produced,and the basic theoretical system of "ontology--epistemology--methodology" has been gradually formed.But what is the nature of information?In the academic world,opinions is various.At present,the domestic about the nature of the "information" there are five core theoretical paradigm,namely:the "status","interaction","report","meaning" and "indirect existence itself shows that says".Although these five theoretical paradigm each have differences,but these theories has a basic position,they both advocate "information" is different from the substance of "existence",and even have "information on all things" of"the information".This paper will continue to explore the essence of information based on the existing five theories of "information essence".Throughout the history of philosophy,we can find that there are many similarities between the study of "information nature" and the discussion of "the relationship between the heart" in the history of philosophy.In the discussion of "relationship of the mind",its central question is "what is the mind?" Is it material or something?For example,Descartes"entity dualism" clearly states that matter and mind are two different entities,physical entities and spiritual entities constitute the world together."Reductionism" physics rise after Descartes type"dualism" serious challenges,so Davidson,putnam and a happy heart philosopher put forward the "monism" and "machine functionalism" ideas continue to maintain the "heart" of status.According to the development of the philosophy of "the relationship between the mind and the object",the five theoretical paradigms of "information essence" are actually"non-reducible" information view.Reductionism,therefore,the physicalist view of information should be in the stage of the development of information philosophy a voice,then "pledge" will be about the nature of"information" the new form of research.In the study of the relationship between mind and matter,korean-american contemporary scholar jk Kim of reductionism the physicalist point of view put forward the counter,he proposed a causal argument,using reduction to absurdity,starting from the basic premise of non reductive physicalism.Proof:if psychological attribute is different from physical attribute,psychological attribute is the vice phenomenon that cannot play the role of reason;If psychological attributes are the same as physical attributes,non-reductive physicalism is an unrealistic proposition.The author also borrows from the method of eliminating argumentation in jin's right,and tries to discuss the "essence of information",which is also "reductive physicalism".The author believes that "information" is different from material and other non-reductive viewpoints should be seriously questioned,and the study of "information view" must adhere to the position of reductionism physicalism.
