This book brings together short contributions from knowledge workers in a wide variety of disciplines, both inside and outside the academy, to revisit a foundational question of the Enlightenment: what is “the last or furthest end of knowledge”? As such, this book is about why we do what we do, and how we might know when we are done. In the reorganization of knowledge that characterized the Enlightenment, disciplines were conceived as having particular “ends,” that is, purposes, as well as having end-points - points at which the projects would be complete. As we experience an ongoing shift to the “knowledge economy” of the Information Age, we ask: do we still conceptualize knowledge in this way? Does an individual discipline have both an inherent purpose and a natural endpoint ? What do an experiment on a fruit fly, a reading of a poem, and the writing of a line of code share in terms of purpose and potential? In the nineteenth century, the universities of Europe institutionalized the modern academic disciplines. Many branches of knowledge have since gone their separate ways, but recent changes in technologies and institutions, and mounting political pressure, have refocused attention on the specialized nature of knowledge. This book therefore looks both backward and forward, on the one hand historicizing concepts of the “end” and on the other projecting those concepts into the future. It realigns knowledge producers from what we now think of as widely disparate areas around a single question in order to better discern perceived distinctions as well as to reveal shared language, ideals, and aspirations. Chapters focus on areas as diverse as AI; Black Studies; Literary Studies; Political Activism; and the concept of disciplinarity itself. Bringing together essays from activists such as Ady Barkin in addition to scholars from a wide range of disciplines, these essays aim to uncover a life after disciplinarity for subjects such as English, Classical Studies, and journalism, that face immediate threats to the structure if not the substance of their contributions. The essays in this collection, then--whether reflective, historical, eulogistic, or polemical--may together chart a preliminary course towards the reorganization of knowledge production as a whole.

Bringing together an exciting group of knowledge workers, scholars and activists from across fields, this book revisits a foundational question of the Enlightenment: what is the last or furthest end of knowledge? It is a book about why we do what we do, and how we might know when we are done. In the reorganization of knowledge that characterized the Enlightenment, disciplines were conceived as having particular ends, both in terms of purposes and end-points. As we experience an ongoing shift to the knowledge economy of the Information Age, this collection asks whether we still conceptualize knowledge in this way. Does an individual discipline have both an inherent purpose and a natural endpoint? What do an experiment on a fruit fly, a reading of a poem, and the writing of a line of code have in common? Focusing on areas as diverse as AI; biology; Black studies; literary studies; physics; political activism; and the concept of disciplinarity itself, contributors uncover a life after disciplinarity for subjects that face immediate threats to the structure if not the substance of their contributions. These essays whether reflective, historical, eulogistic, or polemical chart a vital and necessary course towards the reorganization of knowledge production as a whole.

In this path-breaking and controversial book, Harry Redner provides a systematic study of how the epistemologically interesting features of contemporary science are to be understood. Taking “science†to include knowledge from the social sciences and humanities as well as the physical sciences, Redner shows how the history of science, philosophical theory, and current scientific research reveal connections between scientific developments and features of the social organization of science. Redner argues that the shift from Classical science to a more complex and less orderly World science after World War II has changed the way scientific research is done and how its knowledge is organized. His aim, however, “is not merely to interpret science, but to change it.†Thus, this examination is more than a survey and critique—it is a positive program for the development of future science. Remarkable for its breadth and insight, the book is especially valuable for its discussions of authority and social organization (with the accompanying themes of academic politics, competition, power, and corruption) and for its catalog of the various contemporary critiques of science. Some of these are European in origin and will be new to many U.S. readers. A tour de force on several levels, this book is essential reading for scientists, philosophers, sociologists of science, historians of ideas, critics of contemporary culture and, indeed, for anyone who takes a serious interest in scientific research and higher learning.

In Knowledge and the Ends of Empire, Ian W. Campbell investigates the connections between knowledge production and policy formation on the Kazak steppes of the Russian Empire. Hoping to better govern the region, tsarist officials were desperate to obtain reliable information about an unfamiliar environment and population. This thirst for knowledge created opportunities for Kazak intermediaries to represent themselves and their landscape to the tsarist state. Because tsarist officials were uncertain of what the steppe was, and disagreed on what could be made of it, Kazaks were able to be part of these debates, at times influencing the policies that were pursued.Drawing on archival materials from Russia and Kazakhstan and a wide range of nineteenth-century periodicals in Russian and Kazak, Campbell tells a story that highlights the contingencies of and opportunities for cooperation with imperial rule. Kazak intermediaries were at first able to put forward their own idiosyncratic views on whether the steppe was to be Muslim or secular, whether it should be a center of stock-raising or of agriculture, and the extent to which local institutions needed to give way to imperial institutions. It was when the tsarist state was most confident in its knowledge of the steppe that it committed its gravest errors by alienating Kazak intermediaries and placing unbearable stresses on pastoral nomads. From the 1890s on, when the dominant visions in St. Petersburg were of large-scale peasant colonization of the steppe and its transformation into a hearth of sedentary agriculture, the same local knowledge that Kazaks had used to negotiate tsarist rule was transformed into a language of resistance.
