Abstract: As the essence of time spirit, philosophy has realized its information turn in the current information age. The possibilities of information turn of philosophy are studied from the perspective of times.

The information turn of philosophy reforms not only a certain subject or specific theory in philosophy but also the whole basic theory in philosophy from ontology to epistemology. Only by studying in depth the possibilities of information turn of philosophy and changes caused by this turn, can the thoroughness and basis of the theory of philosophy of information be guaranteed and the theory of philosophy of information be given greater room for development.
