Archaeology of knowledge and the discourse on language / Foucault, Michael; Smith, Sheridan A. M. (Tr.) 2010  Book
Foucault, Michael Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication New York, Vintage, 2010.
Description 245pBlack and White Spine
Summary/Abstract Comparable to Sartre's 'Search for a method', and in direct opposition to it, Foucault's work is a noteworthy effort at a theory of history in the last fifty years. It excavates the hidden assumptions that govern the way we live and think. Beginning at the level of "things aid", it illuminates the connections between knowledge, language and action in a style at once profound and personal.

Too big to know: Rethinking knowledge, now that the facts aren't the facts / Weinberger, David 2011  Book
Weinberger, David Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication New York, Basic Books, 2011.
Description xiv, 231pWhite and green spine
Summary/Abstract This book is an inspiring read, especially for networked leaders who already believe that the knowledge to change the world is living and active, personal and vastly interconnected. We used to know how to know. We got our answers from books or experts. We'd nail down the facts and move on. But in the Internet age, knowledge has moved onto networks. There's more knowledge than ever, of course, but it's different. Topics have no boundaries, and nobody agrees on anything. Yet this is the greatest time in history to be a knowledge seeker . . . if you know how. In Too Big to Know, Internet philosopher David Weinberger shows how business, science, education, and the government are learning to use networked knowledge to understand more than ever and to make smarter decisions.
