We all have more knowledge than we use; even so, say the editors of
this book, ignorance often governs our actions. Society continues
to find ways to misuse knowledge-from manipulating information to
gain political power to restricting what ideas are explored on
university campuses. Thus, when some of the best minds in the
country met to focus on the optimum utilization of knowledge, it
was not an idle academic inquiry. In these proceedings from that
conference, which was sponsored by the Academy of Independent
Scholars, the contributors examine several of the key aspects of
learning: the importance of knowledge in decision making, the role
of our educational system and other systems in producing and
disseminating knowledge, and the relationship between knowledge and
the physiological, psychological, and cultural bases of the
learning process. The misuse of knowledge-or the overuse of
ignorance-the authors note, could threaten the existence of the
entire planet, if the kind of thinking exemplified by the nuclear
arms race prevails.
