Contrary to the conventional wisdom held by many thinkers in all human history hitherto existing, there are some fundamental dialectic principles hidden behind any categories of understanding in knowing. And these principles impose some constraints, at both methodological and ontological levels, together with other levels in culture, society, nature, and the mind - on how reality is to be understood. Furthermore, the specific categories of understanding (as conventionally understood), even if valid at all (which are often not the case), are often not that important, when compared with these more fundamental dialectic principles hidden behind them. The focus on understanding the nature of knowledge has been much misplaced, in this sense, in the intellectual history hitherto existing, and much time and talent have been wasted for something less important. If true, this thesis will alter the way of how knowledge is to be understood across the board.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: The problem of knowledge\u003cbr\u003e Knowledge and the mind\u003cbr\u003e Knowledge and nature\u003cbr\u003e Knowledge and culture\u003cbr\u003e Knowledge and society\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion: The future of knowledge.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Library, archive \u0026amp; information management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Library, archive \u0026amp; information management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Library,%20archive%20\u0026amp;%20information%20management%20%5BGLC%5D%22\"\u003eGLC\u003c\/a\u003e], Library \u0026amp; information sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Library \u0026amp; information sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Library%20\u0026amp;%20information%20sciences%20%5BGL%5D%22\"\u003eGL\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Chandos Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651744911640,"sku":"9781843345398","price":40.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781843345398_34709d70-e5aa-4d72-960d-2df39cfc3b14.jpg?v=1696713232","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-future-of-post-human-knowledge-a-preface-to-a-new-theory-of-methodology-and-ontology-paperback-9781843345398","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
