Abstract

The relationship between the knowledge base and the globalization of communication systems is discussed from the perspective of communication theory. The author argues that interhuman communication takes place at two levels. At the first level information is exchanged and provided with meaning, and at the second level meaning can reflexively be communicated. Human language can be considered as the evolutionary achievement that enables us to use these two channels of communication simultaneously. Providing meaning from the perspective of hindsight is a recursive operation: a meaning that makes a difference can be considered as knowledge. If the production of knowledge is socially organized, the perspective of hindsight can further be codified. This adds globalization to the historically stabilized patterns of communications.
