Abstract
The definition follows the propositional logic, the definition of information is no exception. In recent years, the starting point of the research on the definition of information involves generally investigation of the history of the concept, interdisciplinary research and different aspects of cognition that includes ontology, epistemology, and linguistics and so on, the understanding about the definition of information is divergent. As long as it is about definition of information, regardless what kind of study, however, follows the propositional logic. So the true and false judgment about the definition of information is actually judgment on the proposition of the definition of information. This paper classifies various kinds of intension and definition of the information in the propositional structure by analysing the propositional structure of definition of information and various kinds of defined method about definition of information.

A variety of research institutions dedicated to the unity of information emerge and rise: FIS (Foundations of Information Science), a workshop entitled Information Theory and Practice and the Unified Theory of Information (UTI) Research Group [3]
Many supporters of the UTI provide the argument for the unified theory of information through the study of the unified information definition
Summary
Information research has formed a variety of paths and research paradigms. One of the most popular research paths at present in academia is the study of unified theory of information. Some scholars believe that it is necessary to form a unified theory of information and which is feasible, it can be obtained at different theoretical and practical levels. The research on the definition of information is one of the most important problems in the study of the UTI. Many supporters of the UTI provide the argument for the unified theory of information through the study of the unified information definition. The study of UTI is the unifying definition of information, and other aspects and levels. This article is not to provide argument for a unified theory of information, but only to analyse the “definition of information itself ”according to the propositional logic, to analyse when we put forward a definition of information, What we (both scientists and philosophers) presuppose? This article is not to provide argument for a unified theory of information, but only to analyse the “definition of information itself ”according to the propositional logic, to analyse when we put forward a definition of information, What we (both scientists and philosophers) presuppose? What we predicate? And fundamentally, as one of the most fundamental problems in information research, what the diversity of research methods and content the definition of information explains? And classifies various kinds of intension and definition of the information in the propositional structure by analysing the propositional structure of definition of information and various kinds of defined method about definition of information
