What is the history of knowledge? This engaging and accessible introduction explains what is distinctive about the new field of the history of knowledge (or, as some scholars say, ‘knowledges in the plural’) and how it differs from the history of science, intellectual history, the sociology of knowledge or from cultural history. Leading cultural historian, Peter Burke, draws upon examples of this new kind of history from different periods and from the history of India, East Asia and the Islamic world as well as from Europe and the Americas. He discusses some of the main concepts used by scholars working in the field, among them ‘order of knowledge’, ‘situated knowledge’ and ‘knowledge society’. This book tells the story of the transformation of relatively raw ‘information’ into knowledge via processes of classification, verification and so on, the dissemination of this knowledge and finally its employment for different purposes, by governments, corporations or private individuals. A concluding chapter identifies central problems in the history of knowledge, from triumphalism to relativism, together with attempts to solve them.
The only book of its kind yet to be published, What is the History of Knowledge? will be essential reading for all students of history and the humanities in general, as well as the interested general reader.

当成outline是不错的，也能追寻到一些关键的讨论。Peter Burke确实有为History of Knowledge草拟研究基础和纲要的心，对术语和知识生产的步骤都有了详细的整理。不过跨学科的尝试还是一步险棋，Burke对其他学科的征引还是有试探的意思；有些议论也实在是太浅尝辄止了，比如对continuities和revolutions的调和，比如agents和systems差别的介绍，再...当成outline是不错的，也能追寻到一些关键的讨论。Peter Burke确实有为History of Knowledge草拟研究基础和纲要的心，对术语和知识生产的步骤都有了详细的整理。不过跨学科的尝试还是一步险棋，Burke对其他学科的征引还是有试探的意思；有些议论也实在是太浅尝辄止了，比如对continuities和revolutions的调和，比如agents和systems差别的介绍，再比如讲verification的部分倚重empricism。(展开)

introdiction. 不少内容在两卷本中已谈到，不过还是有不少收获，可以粗略了解知识史相关的学术史、关键概念以及前沿趋势。

对做科学史很有启发，甚至感觉可以把early modern之前的“科学史”研究改为知识史。就是有点过于简明扼要了......

挺有用和开阔眼界的参考文献，学术史、关键词、研究取向的梳理蛮适合“新手快速装熟”和引用背书，Burke的一些提法也很“hmmm, interesting”……

薄薄的小册子，算是Peter Burke对西方“知识史研究”的一份文献综述。很有参考价值。
