Abstract

To the question: "does the widely technified systems information knowledge present problems which could be solved by means of a philosophic reflection, or can that knowledge respond by itself to this kind of problems?", we could answer ontologically by presenting the information objects according to "internal ontological perspectives" proposed by Carnap, in which an object reality is given by "possible worlds" and its existence by its adaptation to the elements of that given world, as well. So forth, the systems information knowledge exists in various worlds, such as: empirical objects world, language world, calculus world, formal systems and complexity worlds. These worlds are the foundation of objects construction, and in each of these worlds the authentic philosophical and epistemological problems appear, which can be solved mostly by philosophical reflections. In addition, these various worlds conform a "genealogy" of this knowledge, and the total set of these worlds shows the existence of an information object in its totality.
