ABSTRACT
This chapter demonstrates analytical advantages in thinking of the 'ideas', so far distinguished from 'behaviour', in terms of 'knowledge'. Universal Computers actively promotes a variety of teleworking arrangements. The Latour and Woolgar, and in particular on Putnam, Fredrik Barth distinguishes between 'truth' and 'rationality', and argues that in the unfolding of practice, knowledge is not to be understood as truth in the sense of 'mind independent facts'. Barth's analytical development of the concept of knowledge is closely associated with that of 'tradition'. Barth's understanding, much knowledge is clustered in terms of what he conceives of as 'traditions of knowledge'. The concept of knowledge reminds us that ideas are situated relative to people, contexts, and events. Referring to the distinction between acts and events, knowledge is a premise for action, and actions in turn become 'events' and thus knowable only after they have occurred.
