Contributors take a close look at everything from religious pilgrimages, museums, and maps of the world, to search engines and automated GPS. Current obsessions in information technology, communications theory, and digital culture often concern the value and possibility of a grand accumulation of universally accessible forms of knowledge: total libraries, open data bases, ubiquitous computing, and ?smart? technologies. These obsessions have important social and philosophical origins, and they raise profound questions about the very nature of knowledge and its organization. This volume?s contributors draw on the histories of maps and of encyclopedias, worldviews and visionary collections, to make sense of the crucial relation between the way the world is known and how it might be displayed and transformed. . 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aTechnology in literature 606 $aApplication software 606 $aHumanities 606 $aGeographical information systems 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aString theory 606 $aPhilosophy of Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34050 606 $aLiterature and Technology/Media$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/827000 606 $aComputer Appl. in Arts and Humanities$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I23036 606 $aPopular Science in Humanities / Arts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q33000 606 $aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J13000 606 $aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aTechnology in literature. 615 0$aApplication software. 615 0$aHumanities. 615 0$aGeographical information systems. 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aString theory. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Technology. 615 24$aLiterature and Technology/Media. 615 24$aComputer Appl. in Arts and Humanities. 615 24$aPopular Science in Humanities / Arts. 615 24$aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography. 615 24$aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory. 676 $a601 702 $aSchaffer$b Simon$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTresch$b John$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGagliardi$b Pasquale$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255203803321 996 $aAesthetics of Universal Knowledge$92037846 997 $aUNINA
