Constructing Pragmatist Knowledge : Education, Philosophy and Social Emancipation
Constructing Pragmatist Knowledge reintroduces an explicit and systematic philosophical approach to education through American Pragmatism, expanding and detailing the practice of pragmatism itself for practitioners across various fields of social action.While a number of theorists are referenced, it focuses on the work of the original pragmatists Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, John Dewey, George Herbert Mead and Jane Addams.It is written in a narrative style and connects personal and professional experience of the author with philosophical description, analysis and explanation.Major themes of pragmatism are encountered throughout involving knowledge, experience, inquiry, social acts, dialectic and contradiction, giving rise to human constructs of values, moral conduct and bricolage.Reintroducing pragmatism and epistemology as the focus of teaching and learning heralds revolutionary and democratic change for education systems worldwide and corrects neoliberal tendencies that impose anti-educational ideological, economic and political distortions.This book will be of interest to academics, graduate students, teachers and pre-service teachers, policy makers and researchers in education, philosophy, sociology and epistemology.

Knowledge Management Philosophy : Communication as a Strategic Asset in Knowledge Management
Knowledge Management is an important part of all business, and yet the discipline lacks a philosophy based on systemic thinking.Exploring this gap, expert author Jon-Arild Johannessen continues his research on knowledge management with the groundwork for a new philosophy.Across the four chapters in this book, Johannessen tackles the issues that have stopped a cohesive philosophy from being formed.Tackling the large questions first, he asks: what constitutes a philosophy for knowledge management?What quality criteria are relevant in a knowledge management philosophy?Johannessen also looks at how the emergence of the fourth industrial revolution has eroded and atomized the cohesion of social systems, and explores how knowledge management works in social systems, as well as whether social laws can be used to explain knowledge management systems.For students and researchers of information and knowledge management, Johannessen offers a new perspective on our current philosophies, bringing systemic thinking to the front of knowledge management philosophy.

How does philosophy gain new knowledge?
Philosophy gains new knowledge through critical thinking, analysis, and reflection on existing ideas and concepts. Philosophers engage in dialogue and debate, challenging and expanding upon established theories and beliefs. They also draw from other disciplines such as science, psychology, and sociology to inform their inquiries and develop new insights. By questioning assumptions and exploring different perspectives, philosophy continues to evolve and generate new knowledge.

Which series contribute to general knowledge and expand knowledge by teaching specialized terms?
Documentary series such as "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" and "Planet Earth" contribute to general knowledge and expand knowledge by teaching specialized terms related to science, nature, and the environment. These series delve into complex scientific concepts and terminology in an accessible and engaging way, making them more understandable to a wider audience. Additionally, educational series like "NOVA" and "The Civil War" provide in-depth exploration of historical events and scientific discoveries, introducing viewers to specialized terms and concepts within those fields.

Why does knowledge speak and why does wisdom listen?
Knowledge speaks because it is the accumulation of information and facts that can be shared and communicated. It is the expression of what has been learned and understood. Wisdom listens because it is the ability to discern and understand the deeper meaning and implications of knowledge. Wisdom recognizes the value in listening to others, considering different perspectives, and seeking to understand before speaking. In this way, knowledge and wisdom complement each other, with knowledge providing the content and wisdom providing the discernment and understanding.

Knowledge Guided Machine Learning : Accelerating Discovery using Scientific Knowledge and Data
Given their tremendous success in commercial applications, machine learning (ML) models are increasingly being considered as alternatives to science-based models in many disciplines.Yet, these "black-box" ML models have found limited success due to their inability to work well in the presence of limited training data and generalize to unseen scenarios.As a result, there is a growing interest in the scientific community on creating a new generation of methods that integrate scientific knowledge in ML frameworks.This emerging field, called scientific knowledge-guided ML (KGML), seeks a distinct departure from existing "data-only" or "scientific knowledge-only" methods to use knowledge and data at an equal footing.Indeed, KGML involves diverse scientific and ML communities, where researchers and practitioners from various backgrounds and application domains are continually adding richness to the problem formulations and research methods in this emerging field.Knowledge Guided Machine Learning: Accelerating Discovery using Scientific Knowledge and Data provides an introduction to this rapidly growing field by discussing some of the common themes of research in KGML using illustrative examples, case studies, and reviews from diverse application domains and research communities as book chapters by leading researchers.KEY FEATURES First-of-its-kind book in an emerging area of research that is gaining widespread attention in the scientific and data science fields Accessible to a broad audience in data science and scientific and engineering fields Provides a coherent organizational structure to the problem formulations and research methods in the emerging field of KGML using illustrative examples from diverse application domains Contains chapters by leading researchers, which illustrate the cutting-edge research trends, opportunities, and challenges in KGML research from multiple perspectives Enables cross-pollination of KGML problem formulations and research methods across disciplines Highlights critical gaps that require further investigation by the broader community of researchers and practitioners to realize the full potential of KGML

What is the difference between learning and acquiring knowledge?
Learning involves the process of gaining knowledge or skills through study, experience, or teaching. It is an active process that requires engagement and understanding of the information being acquired. Acquiring knowledge, on the other hand, refers to simply obtaining information or facts without necessarily understanding or internalizing it. Learning involves a deeper level of understanding and application of knowledge, while acquiring knowledge can be more passive and superficial.

What is the difference between basic knowledge and school knowledge?
Basic knowledge refers to fundamental information and skills that are essential for everyday life, such as reading, writing, and basic math. School knowledge, on the other hand, refers to the specific subjects and topics that are taught in a formal educational setting, such as history, science, and literature. While basic knowledge is universal and necessary for functioning in society, school knowledge is more specialized and focused on academic learning.

Can you give a specific example of wisdom and knowledge?
One specific example of wisdom and knowledge is the story of Isaac Newton and the discovery of gravity. Newton's observation of an apple falling from a tree led to his development of the theory of gravity, which revolutionized the field of physics. This example demonstrates both wisdom, in the form of keen observation and critical thinking, and knowledge, in the form of scientific understanding and application of mathematical principles. Newton's discovery continues to be a cornerstone of modern physics and a testament to the power of wisdom and knowledge.
