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 knowledge sociology 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. They propose a new concept of integrating contemporary social change theories through the "knowledge society" paradigm, and delve into the issues of action, structure, institutions, and culture in constructing a knowledge society. For China's current emphasis on scientific development and a harmonious society, this book offers rational and highly insightful perspectives.
