Adizes Graduate School New Online Class: Epistemology

 

 

EPISTEMOLOGY: How do we really know what we know?

"I want to beg you, as much as I can, to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."

- Ranier Maria Rilke

The course begins on September 10, 2007

Epistemology - The Nature and Evolution of Knowledge: This course exposes participants to a full range of "ways of knowing" and their implications for organizational life. Both classical and contemporary theories of knowledge and their evolution are explored at the individual, cultural and societal levels. We will trace the roots of the modern Western mind through the rationalist versus empiricist orientations to knowledge, the evolution of science and the rise of post-modernism. This AGS Course will be taught by Bruce LaRue, PhD.
