Towards a Theory of Epistemic Information
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
A definition of information (named epistemic information) based on the knowledge states of agents is proposed and used to analyze, understand, and explain some puzzling phenomena, like the subjectivity of information, and the inconsistency between amount of information contained in a datum and amount of Information received.
