“…Budovanie FI ako filozofickej disciplíny, ktorá reflektuje teoretické východiská informačných vied, nadobúda zdôvodnenie. Tento charakter FI je v diskusiách považovaný za štandard (Colburn 2000, Adriaansvan Benthem 2008. 10 Pozrime sa však na zdôvodnenie vlastného predmetu FI, ktoré je problematickejšie.…”

V tejto stati je najprv predstavená filozofia informácie (FI) a demarkácia jej predmetu v metodologicky ucelenej forme, to nadviazaním na koncepciu FI L. Floridiho. V porovnaní s jeho návrhom je vyčlenený i predmet metafilozofie informácie, a takisto je ujasnené aj označenie ,,filozofie prima“. Floridi tvrdí, že jeho koncepcia FI ho môže voči iným filozickým disciplínam nadobudnúť. Problém chápania FI ako filozofie prima sa však ani po dvadsiatich rokoch od jeho uvedenia výraznejšej priamej reflexie nedočkal. V tejto štúdii je zodpovedaná otázka, či je tento problém stále otvoreným problémom FI a ak áno, v akom zmysle. Je obhajovaná téza, že problém chápania FI ako filozofie primaje otvoreným problémom metafilozofie informácie, pričom vzhľadom na výsledky práce v FI sú identifikované niektoré oblasti, relatívne ku ktorým v súčasnosti môžeme, nemôžeme a nedokážeme FI označiť ako prima.

“…One of the original characteristics of the term "philosophy of computer science" we see in the work of Timothy R. Colburn "Philosophy and Computer Science (Explorations in Philosophy)" (2000), in which the scientist traces the philosophy of all computer sciences. The author claims that the philosophy of computer science is a "special discipline" in the same sense as the philosophy of education [7]. It certainly differs to a certain extent from the philosophy of artificial intelligence, philosophy of information, and philosophy of mind, being a separate research area of the philosophy of science, but as a branch of philosophy it also deals with the problems of specific academic disciplines, which usually include ontological, epistemological, and methodological problems, as well as questions about logic, ethics, and semantics, in which we can trace the philosophy of all computer sciences.…”

A large-scale global study of events both within and between disciplines provides strong evidence that leading thinkers have begun to introduce new ways of thinking to the point that most academic disciplines have undergone major paradigm changes throughout the twentieth century, according to Guidley. Increasingly, over the past forty years, we can see significant changes, if not in all, then in the main scientific disciplines. New ways of thinking have appeared in almost all disciplines. With the help of interdisciplinary approaches, a movement has emerged to integrate knowledge, moving beyond the fragmentation of knowledge related to disciplinary specialization. Computer technologies and computer concepts have penetrated almost all areas of academic research. These events can be considered as the implementation of new ways of thinking and new models of knowledge, respectively, and may be edges of the evolution of consciousness, in which computer technologies occupy a significant place. Education and communication in the age of globalization and computerization are an obvious necessity for the continued existence of society.

“…Yet, something else might be at play with this approach to the dualism. Agent-based computational social science conflates the traditional approach to the qualitativequantitative divide in social science, depicted as one of opposing philosophical foundations, with an approach to computational modelling as a middle ground between natural and highly formalised languages, a dichotomy that has a longstanding history in computer science (Colburn 2000). More than cashing in on the popularity of the qualitative-quantitative divide in social science, the conflation seems to provide common grounds for practitioners in the field through the normalisation of radically different methodological traditions.…”

Successful instances of interdisciplinary collaboration can eventually enter a process of disciplinarisation. This article analyses one of those instances: agent-based computational social science, an emerging disciplinary field articulated around the use of computational models to study social phenomena. The discussion centres on how, in knowledge transfer dynamics from traditional disciplinary areas, practitioners parsed several epistemic resources to produce new foundational disciplinary shared commitments, and how disagreements operated as a mechanism of differentiation in their production. Two parsing processes are examined to illustrate this claim. The first one is the parsing of the qualitative-quantitative dualism, arguably the most important methodological disagreement in social science. The second one is the parsing of prediction, a key value in contemporary science. The analysis evidences that disagreements have fostered both external and internal dynamics of differentiation in agent-based computational social science. The former have permitted a more efficient use of epistemic resources, whereas the latter have forced practitioners to modify the foundational narrative and the agenda of the field.
