From Philosophy to Knowledge Management and Back Again
Conference paper
Abstract
It is almost impossible to read an introduction to Knowledge Management (KM) without some mention of philosophy. Indeed, the KM literature is literally riddled with references to philosophers and philosophies. Yet surprisingly, despite the consistent mention of philosophical theory, it is rare to seen any detailed connections made between the theory of knowledge qua philosophy and the practice of knowledge management.
