Abstract

This article is about knowledge with power or else actionable knowledge. This kind of ability knowledge is often neglected in mainstream epistemology but its importance in today’s information society should not be underestimated. The central element here is the Infoworld, a ubiquitous world projected via the Internet. It is argued that information acquired via this world can be transformed into knowledge by means of logical inference. Knowledge acquisition is seen here as a continuous-time feedback process with its stability depending upon reliable information.

Highlights

  • This article is about knowledge with power or else actionable knowledge

  • Our epistemological view considers randomly distributed groups, or clusters, of people who interact with the Infoworld, which is defined as a ubiquitous world of information provided by the convergence of new technologies

  • Knowledge differs from data or information in the sense that new knowledge can always be created from existing knowledge by the application of logical inference

Summary

Introduction

This article is about knowledge with power or else actionable knowledge. This kind of ability knowledge is often neglected in mainstream epistemology but its importance in today’s information society should not be underestimated. Our epistemological view considers randomly distributed groups, or clusters, of people who interact with the Infoworld, which is defined as a ubiquitous world of information provided by the convergence of new technologies. In the world of natural sciences, the following is an accepted definition of knowledge: “The objects, concepts and relationships assumed to exist in some area of interest” [3].
