- Title
The Optimum Utilization of Knowledge (Book Review).
- Abstract
The Optimum Utilization of Knowledge. Making Knowledge Serve Human Betterment. Kenneth E. Boulding, and Lawrence Senesh, Editors. Westview Press, Boulder, Colorado, 1984. The book suggests that we all have more knowledge than we use, and that ignorance often governs our actions. This book contains the edited proceedings of a conference by The Academy of Independent Scholars on the importance of knowledge in decision making. Also, covered were such topics as: Role of our educational system in producing and disseminating knowledge, and the relationship between knowledge and the physiological and psychological bases of the learning process. The authors maintain that the misuse of knowledge or the overuse of ignorance - could threaten the existence of the entire planet, if the kind of thinking exemplified by the nuclear arms race prevails. The authors maintain that knowledge, especially in the form of know-how, is by no means confined to human beings. Conscious human knowledge is only a very small portion of all knowledge.
