Knowledge Research at the TU Berlin

The Center for Knowledge Research 'IZW' aims at exploring the interactions of different shapes, practices and dynamics of knowledge within the four fields of research that are central to the ‘IZW': (a) "Conditions of Knowledge", (b) "Constructional and organisational knowledge", (c) "Knowledge in Sciences", (d) "Modelling Knowledge".

In each of the four stated fields of research, the central concepts shapes, practices and dynamics of knowledge are of fundamental importance. It is a desideratum of philosophical research to clarify these contexts, show how they can elucidate various contexts of knowledge production, and make the results available to researchers working in the special sciences.

In this respect, the IZW's work mainly focuses on the question of the future viability of modern knowledge-based societies.
