| وصف الكتاب | The Western Devaluation of Knowledge is an exploration of the causes and effects of Western cultural changes that have evolved during the past half millennium of industrialization to diminish the value of knowledge as process. Western culture has developed a conceptualization and valuation of knowledge that reverses the traditional knowledge continuum that connects data (information) to understanding. As a result, we displace the subjective and human features of knowledge with automated systems that conforms with information and devalues the knowledge process. |

It is a valued contribution to those in the library field who are trying to think broadly about the transformations brought about by the information revolution. -- David E. Woolwine, Associate Professor of Library Services and Reference Librarian, Hofstra University |
