This paper analyzes information as the predominating element in contemporany society. It dislocates attention towards information as man's foundation in the world. The main hypothesis supposes the linear decomposition of "idol", man, language, code. Therefore, man occupies information. Literature review is concentrated on the topics of ethics and epistemology in Information Science and philosophical literature of the Nietzschean perspective. It suggests that the reduction of man to a mere informational code generates the same problem of babelic confusion of languages. The solution is reproduced in the second era of the exclusion of meanings, values, judgments and ethical and epistemological ideals. The paper concludes that this solution indicates the urgency of counter action in search of a larger whole, where information is only a characteristic of man, the world and nature.
