Knowledge in general exceeds science and even learning
Evidence
Knowledge [savoir] in general cannot be reduced to science, nor even to learning[connaissance] .Learning is the set of statements which, to the exclusion of all other statements, denote or describe objects and may be declared true or false. Science is a subset of learning. It is also composed of denotative statements, but imposes two supplementary conditions on their acceptability: the objects to which they refer must be available for repeated access, in other words, they must be accessible in explicit conditions of observation; and it must be possible to decide whether or not a given statement pertains to the language judged relevant by the experts. — Jean-François Lyotard, The Postmodern Condition, 184
Categorization
- DEFINE: Core definition distinguishing savoir from connaissance and science — essential to Lyotard’s whole argument about narrative knowledge.
- XREF: Directly grounds the concept Jameson critiques; this definitional hierarchy is what Jameson engages through the lens of late capitalist culture. — connects to: Knowledge and objectivity are only knowable in relation to humanity; Knowledge lives in conversation, with science as one valued strand — James W. Carey, Communication as Culture- Essays on…, 368; Utilizing fragmented knowledge beyond any individual’s grasp defines advanced civilizations. — Dieter Plehwe, Quinn Slobodian & Philip Mirowski (eds.), Nine Lives of Neoliberalism, 169
