Chapter 1: Introduction: A Moment of Opportunity and Challenge, paragraph 1

Clear working definitions of “information”, “knowledge” and “culture” ? Or are these what William James called metaphysical “power-bringing words” [SEE: “What is Pragmatism?” ca 1902
“But if you follow the pragmatic method, you cannot look on any such word as closing your quest.

It appears less a solution, then, than as a program for more work, and more particularly as an indication of the ways in which existing realities may be changed.” ]
