This volume explores foundational questions about information, communication, and knowledge from a multidisciplinary perspective. Through chapters by leading scholars, it examines how different epistemological and disciplinary frameworks conceptualize information and communication — as objects, processes, or social constructs — and how these conceptions shape our understanding of knowledge. The book analyses diverse theories, including semiotic, cybersemiotic, social-information, and documentary‑language approaches, offering a rich comparative treatment of the nature of information, meaning, and cognition across fields.
