【 摘 要 】

There are several apparent antinomies within the studies of information, symmetry, and the mutual relationship between symmetry and information. These antinomies are only apparent as the antinomial opposition of statements about information, symmetry, and their mutual relationship is a result of differences between the use of these fundamental concepts in the narrow contexts of their early applications or the common-sense discourse and more rigorous and general study. When information and symmetry are conceptualized at a sufficiently high level of generality and with sufficient precision, the apparent antinomies are eliminated together with the causes of misconceptions within them. In this paper, a selection of examples of such antinomies is followed by a nutshell overview of their solutions, achieved mainly through the clarification of conceptual confusion without the need for revision of the already existing methodology.
