| Abstract: | The monograph by A.V Sokolov “The Philosophy of Information” (St. Petersburg, 2010) is reviewed, which is dedicated to the
conceptualization of information as one of the philosophical categories. Doubts are expressed about the legitimacy of the
author’s treatment of the phenomenon of information from the perspective of dualistic monism recognizing the existence of
a substance with two opposite “hypostases,” which cannot be reduced to one another, namely, about the author’s statement that
the nature of information is neither ideal nor material but ambivalent, i.e., it is an indissoluble unity of the material
(in this case, the carrier) and ideal (meaning) principles. This doubt is based on the premise that the ideal is not an independent
substance, along with the material, but is just one form of existence of matter. Therefore, in our review it is proposed to
treat information not as an element of ambivalence that belongs to the two principles of substantival, which is characteristic
of dualism, but as an element of a monosubstantival principle, as a type of matter. |
