Description

Knowledge and Information: The Potential and Peril of Human Intelligence By Kurt Almqvist and Mattias Hessérus The way we understand the world has changed significantly since our earliest attempts to make sense of it. In recent times, our knowledge base has grown exponentially, but this growth comes with new challenges. This book brings together leading scholars in various fields to discuss how knowledge and information have been preserved and shared throughout history, from the digital age to the present day. The authors examine the tensions between those who possess a high level of cognitive ability and those who feel excluded from public discourse and decision-making. They also explore the impact of these tensions on academia, where there is growing friction over freedom of interpretation and expression. The book is published in a richly illustrated clothbound edition, featuring contributions from a diverse range of experts. This anthology raises important questions about the future of our information society and whether it will lead to an era of enlightenment or a new dark age for knowledge.
