Synopsis

Bringing together a truly interdisciplinary set of essays from contributors inside and outside of the academy, this book uses the Enlightenment idea that disciplines had particular "ends" - purposes as well as endpoints - as a jumping-off point to explore the ways in which we conceptualize knowledge now.
