CONEIXEMENT
I
SOCIETAT
.
Knowledge and society. A title is often a whole declaration of intent in itself. The
title of this publication covers such a vast range of subjects that the risk is one of defining and establishing limits to the
area that it covers. Nevertheless, the intention is to clearly make it open to all issues pertaining to today’s society of
knowledge.
A lot is being said about the society of knowledge, yet the importance of the changes and transformations that are
occurring means that there is every need for all forms of discussion and reflection. The Departament d’Universitats,
Recerca i Societat de la Informació (DURSI, Catalan Ministry of Universities, Research and the Information Society) is
also interested in being involved in this process, especially concerning the areas that come under the jurisdiction of the
Ministry, namely the universities, policy for science and information and communication technologies.
CONEIXEMENT
I
SOCIETAT
seeks to establish a point of reference for the dissemination and discussion of these issues and
to make the knowledge and opinions of experts who specialise in these developments and transformations available to
everybody who is interested.
We can only know with the passing of time whether the so-called new technologies revolution, which is intimately linked
with the society of knowledge, is equivalent to a second industrial revolution or if it transcends the original one. Manuel
Castells, the author of one of the articles in this first edition, in fact speaks of a historic change.
It is also only through the passing of time that we will know whether
CONEIXEMENT
I
SOCIETAT
comes up to our
expectations. Please read on and judge for yourselves.
Andreu Mas-Colell
Minister for Universities, Research and the Information Society
