KNOWLEDGE AND ACTION GEBUNDEN

This volume explores interdependencies between knowledge  action  and space from different
interdisciplinary perspectives. Some of the contributors discuss knowledge as a social
construct based on collective action  while others look at knowledge as an individual capacity
for action. The chapters contain theoretical frameworks as well as experimental outcomes.
Readers will gain insight into key questions such as: How does knowledge function as a
prerequisite for action? Why are knowledge gaps growing and not diminishing in a knowledge
society? How much knowledge is necessary for action? How do various types of knowledge
influence the steps from cognition to action? How do different representations of knowledge
shape action? What impact have spatial conditions for the formation of knowledge? What is the
relationship between social and geographical space? The contributors consider rationality in
social and economic theories as well as in everyday life. Attention is also given to action
theoretic approaches and rationality from the viewpoints of psychology  post-structuralism  and
human geography  making this an attractive book for students  researchers and academics of
various backgrounds. This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.
