Abstract

Today’s information revolution is affecting our understanding about the world and about ourselves: we are interconnected informational organisms that share with biological entities and engineered artefacts “a global environment ultimately made of information,” namely, what Luciano Floridi calls “the infosphere”. A crucial feature of this new environment is illustrated by how the information revolution is transforming principles and concepts of the law, much as the approach of experts to legal information. Our chapter is concerned with a theoretical and practical understanding of what philosophy of law is in an information society.
