What does the world consist of most fundamentally speaking? What is it that underlies it all? In this talk I will explore the thesis that the world consist of information and nothing but information. The world is, most fundamentally speaking, a world of information. I will articulate the thesis and defend it against a couple of main objections. Along the way, I will also illustrate what I take to be the nature and value of philosophy (as opposed to other disciplines).
Einar Duenger B?hn: "A world of information".
Einar Duenger B?hn (b. 1977) is Professor of philosophy at the University of Agder. Main research areas: metaphysics, the philosophy of technology, aesthetics, the philosophy of religion, and ethics. B?hn has published many international articles and several books, e.g. “God and Abstract objects” (Cambridge University Press, 2019) and “Teknologiens Filosofi” (Cappelen Damm, 2022). Bohn is also an active voice on behalf of philosophy outside of academia, with many radio appearances and philosophy podcasts on his conscience. Other than that, he seems to experience some meaning from driving his motorcycle, drawing with charcoal, and hanging out with his cat and his kids.
