  1. Offline and Online Data: on upgrading functional information to knowledge.Giuseppe Primiero - 2013 - Philosophical Studies 164 (2):371-392.
    This paper addresses the problem of upgrading functional information to knowledge. Functional information is defined as syntactically well-formed, meaningful and collectively opaque data. Its use in the formal epistemology of information theories is crucial to solve the debate on the veridical nature of information, and it represents the companion notion to standard strongly semantic information, defined as well-formed, meaningful and true data. The formal framework, on which the definitions are based, uses a contextual version of the verificationist principle of truth (...)

  • An epistemic logic for becoming informed.Giuseppe Primiero - 2009 - Synthese 167 (2):363 - 389.
    Various conceptual approaches to the notion of information can currently be traced in the literature in logic and formal epistemology. A main issue of disagreement is the attribution of truthfulness to informational data, the so called Veridicality Thesis (Floridi 2005). The notion of Epistemic Constructive Information (Primiero 2007) is one of those rejecting VT. The present paper develops a formal framework for ECI. It extends on the basic approach of Artemov’s logic of proofs (Artemov 1994), representing an epistemic logic based (...)

  • Are the Validities of Modal Logic Analytic? Or Analyticity Again, through Information, Proof, Modal Logic and Hintikka.Francesca Poggiolesi - 2015 - Philosophia Scientiae 19:221-243.
    Dans la philosophie de Hintikka la notion d'analyticité occupe une place particulière (e.g., [Hintikka 1973], [Hintikka 2007]) ; plus précisément, le philosophe finnois distingue deux notions d'analyticité : l'une qui est basée sur la notion d'information, l'autre sur la notion de preuve. Alors que ces deux notions ont été largement utilisées pour étudier la logique propositionnelle et la logique du premier ordre, aucun travail n'a été développé pour la logique modale. Cet article se propose de combler cette lacune et ainsi (...)

  • Does semantic information need to be truthful?Lundgren Björn - 2019 - Synthese 196 (7):2885-2906.
    The concept of information has well-known difficulties. Among the many issues that have been discussed is the alethic nature of a semantic conception of information. Floridi :197–222, 2004; Philos Phenomenol Res 70:351–370, 2005; EUJAP 3:31–41, 2007; The philosophy of information, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2011) argued that semantic information must be truthful. In this article, arguments will be presented in favor of an alethically neutral conception of semantic information and it will be shown that such a conception can withstand Floridi’s (...)
