Liberal education reconsidered: cultivating humanity in the Knowledge Society
Asia Pacific Education Review, 2014Co-Authors: Eunsook HongAbstract:In the Knowledge Society, there is a conflict between “education for profit” and “education for humanity.” Education for profit is needed for students’ economic survival and success in the Knowledge economy. Education for humanity is needed for their existential lives worthy of human beings. This paper deals with the question of whether it is possible to educate for humanity in the Knowledge Society. First, I suggested a complemented concept of “education for profit in the broad sense,” transforming the Knowledge Society for a better one. Second, I discussed Biesta’s criticism of “cultivation of humanity,” defending using this term as a general and honorific sense. Finally, I explained how an expanded concept of education for profit in the broad sense is compatible with the cultivation of humanity. Education for profit in the broad sense, considering the disadvantaged in the social and political sense, is to teach virtues such as caring, compassion, justice, etc. Teaching various values in addition to economic value also contributes to the cultivation of humanity by enriching human life. Teaching various learning skills for continuous learning, “social capital” as well as intellectual Knowledge, global citizenship, communal relationship, is to cultivate one’s self-learning capacity. I concluded the paper by reconsidering directions of liberal education in the Knowledge Society.

Rural Strategies for Coping with the Spatial Unevenness in the Knowledge Society
European Planning Studies, 2013Co-Authors: Axel SteinAbstract:AbstractKnowledge has long been a motor for societal development. However, the way Knowledge is produced, distributed and applied has changed considerably and is regionally differentiated. In this paper, it is argued that different types of spatial profiles are discernable at the broader, national level: (i) Prominent hubs emerge, influenced by the Knowledge Society. (ii) The Knowledge Society expands to rural areas, being located between metropolitan regions, forming corridors of development. (iii) Regions with a Knowledge Society deficit, which might be perceived as a sort of “novel periphery”, remain. Drawing on examples from Germany, this paper examines rural regions which can be seen to fit with these profiles, revealing how planning paradigms change in the Knowledge Society and how spatially sensitive stakeholders can and do use Knowledge as a strategic resource.

Spatial Patterns in the Knowledge Society
German Annual of Spatial Research and Policy 2009, 2009Co-Authors: Hans Joachim Kujath, Axel SteinAbstract:Knowledge was already considered an important resource by the industrial Society and a motor for the development of Society and its spaces. In comparison, today’s visible transition to the Knowledge Society is distinguishable through a qualitative leap in the way Knowledge is produced, shared, and used. As early as the 1960s Peter Drucker mentioned the Knowledge Society as an emerging economic and social order in which Knowledge would replace work, raw materials, and capital and become the central source of productivity, economic growth, and social change.1 These radical changes have a technical, an economic, and a social dimension and their effect becomes apparent at the spatial level.
