DESCRIPTION:<p>This paper interprets Lyotard&rsquo\;s remarks on information in the wider context of information theory and philosophy of information. It situates him as a philosopher of information who\, despite a lack of specialist\, technical knowledge of information theory\, contributes to a reflective\, philosophical understanding of information on two levels: the social impact of information\, and the ontology of information. The paper concludes with a programmatic outline for how Lyotard&rsquo\;s critical intervention in the &ldquo\;linguistic turn&rdquo\; in <em>The Differend </em>might be developed for a critical intervention in the &ldquo\;informational turn\,&rdquo\; an intervention which&nbsp\; revolves around the question of how the event in the Lyotardian sense might be thought within an information-theoretic context.</p>\n<p>Ashley Woodward is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Dundee\, a member of The Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy\, and an editor of <em>Parrhesia: A Journal of Critical Philosophy</em>. His research interests gravitate around problems of existential meaning and issues in philosophy of art. He is author and editor of several books including\, forthcoming from Edinburgh University Press\, <em>Lyotard: The Inhuman Condition. Reflections on Nihilism\, Information\, and Art.</em></p>
