摘要

摘要:17世纪初,弗朗西斯·培根呼吁知识生产的新起点和对其终结的重新思考。在以启蒙运动为特征的知识重组中,学科被认为具有特定的目的,以及它们的项目将完成的点。这篇文章在其漫长历史的另一个拐点重新审视了这个基本问题:在他的伟大复兴四百年后,我们面临着新时代,即将从COVID-19的危机、气候灾难、右翼教育战争和新自由主义大学的不稳定性中出现。我们认为,跨领域、跨学科的知识生产者围绕“目的”问题重新定位工作的时机又到了。当学者和学科追求各自的知识项目时,他们必须能够回答以下问题:我们为什么要做我们所做的,我们如何知道我们已经完成了?

Is This the End?
Abstract: In the early seventeenth century, Francis Bacon called for both a new start to knowledge production and a reconsideration of its ends. In the reorganization of knowledge that characterized the Enlightenment, disciplines were conceived as having particular purposes as well as a point at which their projects would be complete. This essay revisits this foundational question at another inflection point in its long history: four hundred years after his Great Instauration , as we face the new era that will emerge from the coalescent crises of COVID-19, climate disaster, the right-wing war on education, and the precarity of the neoliberal university. We believe the time has come again for knowledge producers across fields and disciplines to reorient their work around the question of "ends." As scholars and disciplines pursue their individual knowledge projects, they must be able to answer the questions: why do we do what we do, and how could we know that we were done?
