@unpublished {Gershenson2018, title = {Information in Science and Buddhist Philosophy: Towards a Non-Materialistic Worldview}, year = {2018}, note = {Preprints 2018120042}, month = {November}, abstract = {Information theory has been developed for seventy years with technological applications that have transformed our societies. The increasing ability to store, transmit, and process information is having a revolutionary impact in most disciplines. The goal of this work is to compare the formal approach to information with Buddhist philosophy. Considering both approaches as compatible and complementary, I argue that information theory can improve our understanding of Buddhist philosophy and vice versa. The resulting synthesis leads to a worldview based on information that overcomes limitations of the currently dominating physics-based worldview.}, doi = {10.20944/preprints201812.0042.v1}, author = {Carlos Gershenson} }
