Synopsis

Joining John Howkins Creative Ecologies, John Hartleys The Uses of Digital Literacy and Carsten Herrmann-Pillaths The Economics of Identity and Creativity, leading American academic Richard E. Lees Knowledge Matters is the latest in this innovative series featuring international scholars and thinkers at the forefront of the creative industries. 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 todays society. 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.
