Features: This book is the first of its kind in China to explore the theoretical and practical issues of knowledge society from the unique perspectives of sociology of knowledge and constructivism. With a broad vision of globalization and knowledgeization, the authors critically reflect on the prevailing discourse of the knowledge economy and various "post" trends in recent years, proposing a new concept of integrating contemporary social change theories through the "knowledge society" paradigm. The book delves into the issues of action, structure, institutions, and culture in constructing a knowledge society. For China's current emphasis on the scientific development concept and the harmonious society proposition, this book offers rational and highly insightful perspectives.
