| Summary: | Globalization changes not only trade relations and financial transactions but also the experiences and thinking of human beings. Patterns of interpretation, concepts and categories that form the basis of society‘s image of itself are changing. If concepts such as truth, understanding and criticism are losing their significance and thus the differences between facts, opinions and knowledge are blurring, increasingly virulent problems for social cohesion are the result. As the authors explain, adult education could counter this by developing epistemic curiosity. Its object is to cultivate a mode of (scientific) knowledge production that can be tapped into not by simple acquisition of knowledge but by active research - for example in research communities. One conclusion is that it is worth allowing the development of a form of criticism guided by the insight that knowledge of society cannot be separated from its production. (Ed.) |
