The Dialectics of Information will answer the following questions:
- What is the ontological status of information? (Is disembodied information possible?)
- How can meaningful data acquire their truth values? (What are the politics of “real news”?)
- What are the dialectics in inferentialist accounts of meaning? (How do production and exchange shape normativity in the present moment and through time?)
- What is the relation between information and fascism in the state-finance nexus? (How does risk become rational and ethical for capital?)
- How might a rhetorical-materialist history informed by philosophy of information illuminate naturalism, i.e., our relation to other non-human animals and the larger environment? (How does Anthropocene theory and some posthumanism erase socioeconomic and political fact?)
- How does a materialist-pragmatist reconceptualization of information explicate new social epistemology? (What is the labor theory of knowledge?)
