Description

We face a long-term structural crisis in how we understand our world. With the rise of capitalism came structures of knowledge that divided 'facts' (sciences) from 'values' (humanities), but these divisions have become unsustainable in today's society - as shown by Australia's ongoing history wars. Richard Lee argues that both knowledge and its structures form an inseparable whole, which governs what actions people will take. Knowledge Matters is a crucial step towards solving the structural crisis and helping us imagine and evaluate our possible futures.
