Theoretical Puppets: K is for Knowledge, 20 November 2023
In this video, Foucault addresses a distinction crucial for his understanding of “knowledge,” namely the difference between “knowledge” in general (savoir) and “scientific knowledge” (connaissance). Knowledge tends to be something like a system of belief, even a kind of ideology. At the same time, it is required for establishing the very objects and topics that will be investigated in science. And of course, all of this has someting to do with issues of power and truth, not to mention “fake news,” “post truth” and the like – all of this very complex and not easy, you know?!
