Reseña del libro "The Ends of Knowledge: Outcomes and Endpoints Across the Arts and Sciences (en Inglés)"

Bringing together an exciting group of knowledge workers, scholars and activists fromacross fields, this book revisits a foundational question of the Enlightenment: what is"the last or furthest end of knowledge"? It is a book about why we do what we do, andhow we might know when we are done. In the reorganization of knowledge that characterized the Enlightenment, disciplineswere conceived as having particular "ends," both in terms of purposes and end-points.As we experience an ongoing shift to the knowledge economy of the Information Age, this collection asks whether we still conceptualize knowledge in this way. Does anindividual discipline have both an inherent purpose and a natural endpoint? What doan experiment on a fruit fly, a reading of a poem, and the writing of a line of code havein common? Focusing on areas as diverse as AI; biology; Black studies; literary studies; physics;political activism; and the concept of disciplinarity itself, contributors uncover a lifeafter disciplinarity for subjects that face immediate threats to the structure if not thesubstance of their contributions. These essays - whether reflective, historical, eulogistic, or polemical - chart a vital and necessary course towards the reorganization ofknowledge production as a whole.
