Outlining an integrative theory of knowledge, Francisco Javier
Carrillo explores how to understand the underlying behavioural
basis of the knowledge economy and society. Chapters highlight the
notion that unless a knowledge-based value creation and
distribution paradigm is globally adopted, the possibilities for
integration between a sustainable biosphere and a viable economy
are small. This Modern Guide provides an overview of where we are
regarding the knowledge economy and society, how its current form
took shape and how our understanding has evolved, from the grounds
of the philosophy of knowledge, to include the current branches of
the sciences of knowledge. Carrillo further examines the challenges
of the Anthropocene and how modern knowledge systems might need to
change radically to meet them. The Modern Guide then moves to focus
on the integration of epistemic, theoretical, technical and
political developments in several fields of knowledge-related
aspects of economy and society to offer a more integrated view.
> Multidisciplinary and thorough, this will be an interesting
read for scholars of knowledge, society and the environment, as
well as students looking at ways to re-evaluate knowledge more
broadly. Policymakers and governmental analysts will also benefit
from the discussing of the unviability of our current economic
culture and the potential options for the future.
