Abstract
The author, philosopher argues that the global network is only a stage in the endless sel-regulating process though the humlanencyclopedia constantlky strives to respond to its growth. He identifies three proceses that enable the Internet to make psssible a management of knowledge that is faster, wider in scope, more complete in termes of types of information, and easier to exercise than ever before. He also show hawo the network has already given rise to exercise than ever before. he akso shows how the network has already given rise tu unprecendented innovations and to new fundamental problems, some of which are especially relevaznt to thefuture of scholarhip and organizes knoledge. He examines how vasr distriuted information spaces, like the Internet, raise deep problems, such as fragmenting konwledge, and making access to kanowledge problematic for people with varied resources
