History of knowledge is too narrowly defined here

[edit]

The history of knowledge is about much more than an accumulation of facts or a sum of things learned. Just like the history of science is more. No time to write an article, but see the following:

Peter Burke, What is the History of Knowledge? (Wiley, 2015); Peter Burke, Social History of Knowledge, 2 vols.; Simone Lässig, "The History of Knowledge and the Expansion of the Historical Research Agenda," Bulletin of the German Historical Institute (Fall 2016), https://www.ghi-dc.org/fileadmin/user_upload/GHI_Washington/Publications/Bulletin59/29.pdf; History of Knowledge (blog), http://historyofknowledge.net.

There is a more established tradition in sociology, with key texts by Karl Mannheim and Ludvik Fleck. In German-speaking scholarship, there is Wissensgeschichte.

Good note; I tried to improve the lead a bit. I suggest you could start a small section. There's no need to write a full article. You could also write it here if you want. --Fixuture (talk) 22:08, 7 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
