This volume explores interdependencies between knowledge, action,
and space from different interdisciplinary perspectives. Some of
the contributors discuss knowledge as a social construct based on
collective action, while others look at knowledge as an individual
capacity for action. The chapters contain theoretical frameworks as
well as experimental outcomes. Readers will gain insight into key
questions such as: How does knowledge function as a prerequisite
for action? Why are knowledge gaps growing and not diminishing in a
knowledge society? How much knowledge is necessary for action? How
do various types of knowledge influence the steps from cognition to
action? How do different representations of knowledge shape action?
What impact have spatial conditions for the formation of knowledge?
What is the relationship between social and geographical space? The
contributors consider rationality in social and economic theories
as well as in everyday life. Attention is also given to action
theoretic approaches and rationality from the viewpoints of
psychology, post-structuralism, and human geography, making this an
attractive book for students, researchers and academics of various
backgrounds. This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.
