An objective, dynamic and physically justified concept of information is elaborated starting from Shannon's concept of entropy and applied to information technology, artificial intelligence (consciousness) and thermodynamics. The justification of an information conservation theorem acquires practical significance in information technology, especially as it moves into the quantum realm (photonics/quantum computing). The unconditional dynamics of information and its objectivity are critically examined and are the foundations of the considerations. We live in the information age, but the concept of information is still not defined objectively and physically. This book defines a dynamic concept of information that results in a conservation of information principle. Just as the principle of conservation of energy is essential to understanding energy, the principle of conservation of information leads to a deeper understanding of information. Information is strongly related to entropy, always in motion, cannot disappear, and is independent of subjects.
Professor Lienhard deals here primarily with the first half of the 16th century, a momentous period which saw the rise and first triumphs of evangelical Christianity. His focus is upon the town of Strasbourg, one of the places where the Reformation first left its mark, and the articles combine to present an illuminating picture of the town's social and religious evolution over the period. Some approach the subject at an individual level, with studies of the protagonists in the events - such as Martin Bucer, Matthieu Zell or Thomas Murner - and their differing religious viewpoints. Other articles take a broader perspective, analysing the social and political background to the triumph of the Reform, the gradual emergence of a new order, and local attitudes towards the new dissidents, the Anabaptists. An important section of additional notes and comments completes the volume. Le Professeur Lienhard s’attache ici, avant tout, à la premiere motié du XVIe siècles, période capitale, qui vit la montée et les premiers triomphes du christianisme évangélique. Il se concentre sur Strasbourg, un des lieux où la Réforme laissa très tôt sa marque. L’ensemble des articles présente une image clarifante de l’évolution sociale et religieuse de la ville durant cette période. Certains abordent le sujet au travers de l’étude de plusiers des protagonistes aillant pris part aux événements - tels que Martin Bucer, Matthieu Zell ou Thomas Murner - et examinent aussi leurs différents points de vue religieux. D’autres prennent une perspective plus large, analysant le contexte politique et social à la base de triomphe de la Réforme et de la naissance d’un ordre nouveau, ainsi que les prises de position locales envers les nouveaux dissidents, les Anabaptistes. Dès a present, ce recueil est accompagné d’une importante section de notes adittionnelles et de commentaires.
