ABSTRACT

In the introduction the concept of paradigm as well as the scope of epistemological research in information science are analized. The first part mentions some epistemological paradigms that have influenced information science so far, such as hermeneutics, critical rationalism, critical theory, semiotics, constructivism, secondorder cybernetics, and system theory. The second part is dedicated to the analysis of three epistemological paradigms in information science starting with the physical paradigm that goes back to Shannon's theory of communication. The Cranfield tests and Michael Buckland's conception of "information-as-thing" are mentioned. The second paradigm is the cognitive one (B.C. Brookes, Nicholas Belkin, Pertti Vakkari, Peter Ingwersen). The third paradigm is the social one which goes back to Jesse Shera's "social epistemology," and is represented today by scholars such as Bernd Frohmann, Birger Hjřrland, Sřren Brier and the author himself. Practical consequences of epistemological research concerning the design and evaluation of information systems as well as research in information science are considered.
