Abstract

A computer playable version of the Glass Bead Game in the sense of Hermann Hesse’s famous novel is being presented and the various onto-epistemic as well as social implications of the game are discussed. In particular, the discussion focuses on aspects of the philosophical conceptualization of information within evolving social contexts.
