Part I. History. From matter to materialism .. and (almost) back -- Unsolved dilemmas : the concept of matter in the history of philosophy and in contemporary physics -- part II. Physics. Universe from bit -- The computational universe -- Minds and values in the quantum universe -- part III. Biology. The concept of information in biology -- What is missing from theories of information? -- Information and communication in living matter -- Semiotic freedom : an emerging force -- Care on Earth : generating informed concern -- part IV. Philosophy and theology. The sciences of complexity : a new theological resource? -- God as the ultimate informational principle -- Information, theology and the universe -- God, matter and information : towards a stoicizing logos Christology -- What is the "spiritual body"? : on what may be regarded as "ultimate" in the interrelation between God, matter and information.

Many scientists regard mass and energy as the primary currency of nature. In recent years, however, the concept of information has gained importance. Why? In this book, eminent scientists, philosophers and theologians chart various aspects of information, from quantum information to biological and digital information, in order to understand how nature works. Beginning with a historical treatment of the topic, the book also examines physical and biological approaches to information, and its philosophical, theological and ethical implications.
