More about the book
Exploring the intersections of diverse knowledge systems, the book examines how various traditions, from cathedral construction to Micronesian navigation, contribute to our understanding of knowledge production. It posits that knowledge is inherently messy, spatial, and localized, shaped by unique cultural practices. The author challenges modernist notions of coherence, revealing that the spaces we occupy and the assemblages we engage with are complex and heterogeneous, reflecting a rich tapestry of human experience and understanding.
