The Information Paradigm, Spanning All Levels of Human Knowledge ^†

The revolutionary development of human knowledge and the fundamental change of human civilization are impelled by the transformation of the scientific paradigm. We have enough reason to regard the middle of the 20th century as the beginning of a new human era. Since then, a new scientific and technological revolution has brought mankind into the new era of information civilization, accompanied by the rise of the information paradigm. This paper will be presented in the following four aspects: the information paradigm; the unified relationship of inner fusion of human knowledge developing patterns; the unified information science between heaven and earth; and a rationally constructed philosophy of information, which is the philosophical basis for establishing a unified information science.
