Features: This book is titled "The Critique of Knowledge," and its intention is not to completely deny knowledge as "error" or an "opposite." Instead, it reexamines or reevaluates the historical evolution and various issues of knowledge, especially scientific knowledge, as humanity's precious spiritual wealth. The systematic analysis and negation of erroneous thoughts, statements, or actions, which can be understood as "codified" critique, applies only to those who, for religious, political, or other reasons, denigrate knowledge and oppose science—such as "knowledge fanatics" and "scientific counterfeiters," as well as critics who unjustly accuse genuine scientific knowledge. Therefore, the "critique" in this book also carries a certain meaning of "critiquing critique" to some extent.
