Description

Explore a fundamental question at the heart of our civilization in Wisdom, Information and Wonder: What is Knowledge For? Published by Routledge, this book features one of Britain's leading philosophers as they examine the true purpose of knowledge. In an era dominated by high-tech information, the author addresses the problems caused by the fragmentary and specialized ways data is often shared today. This work offers a deep critique of modern philosophy and the ways in which current thinking supports specialized, disconnected modes of thought. Readers will find a thought-provoking analysis of the hidden moral agendas found within science that claims to be value-free. Whether you are interested in cognition, cognitive psychology, or the philosophy of science, this book provides a clear and graceful look at how we understand the world around us. It is a rewarding read for anyone looking to reconnect with the broader meaning of wisdom and wonder in the modern age.
