Problems and Corollaries

Abstract

Fattorello’s third chapter is entitled ‘Problems and Corollaries’. Here, he considers the problems identified through the convergence of two interpretations of text and the objectivity that is presumed in a text. He identifies the two different terminals of a relationship of information. He then highlights the mistakes made in discerning the differences between bodies that train and those that inform. Fattorello then considers the object that is the reason for a relationship of information, and the confusion that arises between the instrument that is used to communicate and the phenomenon of information per se. He then moves to look at the aim of information and the effects that follows a relationship of communication, the information process and the actions that are consequent to it and he ends the chapter by discussing the information phenomenon and its interpretation as a method of social analysis.
