ABSTRACT
The word “information” comes from the Latin “informare” meaning “give form to.” In this Aristotelian concept of substance, form informs matter, while matter materializes form, thereby becoming a substance (DodigCrnkovic, 2006). The various concepts of information comprise a complex body of knowledge able to accommodate many different views, as Maijuan puts it, “Inconsistencies and paradoxes in the conceptualization of information can be found through numerous fields of natural, social and computer science” (Marijuan, 2003, p. 214).
