More about the book
The book addresses the challenge of integrating information theory with the semantic dimensions crucial to education and psychology. It highlights the limitations of traditional information theory, as developed by Shannon, which overlooks the semantic aspect. By introducing the concept of subjective information, the author proposes a method for measuring semantic information in teaching contexts. This approach shifts focus from objective measurements to the subjective probabilities that recipients associate with sign sequences, aiming to enhance the application of information theory in these fields.
