Abstract
The aim of this paper is to draw on Marx’s grounding of value in social labour so as to create oper-ational space for emergent knowledge to bear on functioning of human systems in the digital age. In particular, it is to address the prospect of ‘digitally enhanced serfdom’ framed by neoliberal - enforced division of labour which is driving techno-scientific complexification away from the service to ‘libera-tion by independent reason’. It will be argued that the necessary condition for redeeming ideals of the Enlightenment without depriving humanity of the benefits o˙ered by emergent technologies is a long overdue methodological turn in educational, training, and management programmes. This is about equipping individuals with novel attitudes to and ownership of experience and work with competences reaching beyond the traditional notion of expertise, about raising the task of problem solving to the level of perpetual problem formulation peculiar to the open, multi-disciplinary spaces of the current vita activa. Only then is it possible to bridge the gap between the emergent knowledge and its social outcomes, with a view to restoring value as a measure of actualization of fullest human potential for all.
