ABSTRACT
This book deals with the environment in which man lives, works and learns. It does not deal with the person. But in the knowledge society into which we are moving, the person is central. Knowledge is not impersonal like money. Knowledge does not reside in a book, a data bank, a software program. They contain only information. Knowledge is always embodied in a person, taught and learned by a person, used or misused by a person. The shift to the knowledge society therefore puts the person in the centre. In doing so it raises new challenges, new issues, new and quite unprecedented questions regarding the knowledge society's representative, the Educated Person.
