Knowledge has a rich and complex history, encompassing a wide range of main currents, distinguishing ideas, and key concepts. While this Element provides a pedagogical overview of the field, it is not a comprehensive state-of-the-art overview but rather an argumentative contribution that seeks to push the field in a particular direction. The authors envision a history of knowledge that goes beyond the traditional boundaries of science and intellectual history, focusing instead on the social and cultural dimensions of knowledge. This means that a wide range of different forms of knowledge should be studied and explored.
To demonstrate this, the authors draw on ongoing research from across the world, covering different time periods and problems. They argue that the history of knowledge can enrich our understanding of past societies and help us to better understand the complex relationships between knowledge, power, and society.
In conclusion, this Element provides a valuable introduction to the history of knowledge, highlighting its main currents, distinguishing ideas, and key concepts. While it is not a comprehensive state-of-the-art overview, it serves as an argumentative contribution that seeks to push the field in new directions. By drawing on ongoing research from around the world, the authors demonstrate that the history of knowledge can enrich our understanding of past societies and help us to better understand the complex relationships between knowledge, power, and society in the present and future.
