In the 4^th International Conference on the Foundations of Information Science: “towards a new science of information”, held in Beijin this summer, we had the pleasant chance to share with Luis Emilio Bruni both his biosemiotical approaches and our multi-perspectivistic stance concerning information. Among other debates an interesting polemic on the objective/subjective nature of information and semantic contents, which reappeared at different occasions during the conference and beyond.
