This volume in the Political Theory and Contemporary Philosophy
series extends democracy to knowledge in two ways. First, it argues
that the issues science seeks to clarify are relevant for all
citizens. Second, it explains that the fundamental problems faced
by any democracy, such as the economic crisis, are not so much
problems of political will as cognitive failures that must be
resolved through both a greater knowledge of the realities over
which we govern and a fine-tuning of the tools of governance. In
fact, knowledge and related fields are spheres in which not only
economic prosperity, but also democratic quality, are determined.
Thus politics of knowledge and through knowledge has become a
question of democratic citizenship. After introducing the concept
of governing knowledge, the book discusses the political action of
collective organization of uncertainty, before developing the idea
of the cognitive challenge of the economy, revealed by today's
economic crisis. A groundbreaking work by a renowned philosopher,
it will be an accessible and fundamental resource for anyone
interested in the relation of power to knowledge.
