A thing's reality derives from its capacity to communicate with other things. If this is so then the problem of being receives a straightforward resolution: To be is to be in communion. Accordingly the fundamental science indeed the science that needs to underwrite all other sciences is a theory of communication. Within such a theory of communication the proper object of study becomes not isolated particles but the information that passes between entities.In Being as Communion philosopher and mathematician William Dembski provides a nontechnical overview of his groundbreaking work on information and draws out its implications for theology and metaphysics. Being as Communion develops a relational ontology that is at once congenial to science and open to teleology.
