Information from Physics to Social Science

Members of the Emergent systems, information and society Research Group have, among others, contributed to a special issue of the European Physical Journal Special Topics on “Information in Physics and Beyond”. Information as basic phenomenon in our world needs a transdisciplinary account, in which physics and other disciplines can add their findings to suffice a complementary, convergent and concise concept. 

“Such a perspective is supported by ideas of complexity research, the evolutionary systems approach and Ludwig von Bertalanffy’s General System Theory”, says Wolfgang Hofkirchner in the introduction. All contributions fit the overall agenda.
