In defence of the veridical nature of semantic information
Luciano Floridi
Abstract
This paper contributes to the current debate on the nature of semantic information by offering a semantic argument in favour of the veridical thesis according to which p counts as information
only if p is true. In the course of the analysis, the paper reviews some basic principles and requirements for any theory of semantic information.
