Encyclopedic knowledge : ウィキペディア英語版 | Encyclopedic knowledge
The concept of encyclopedic knowledge was once attributed to exceptionally well-read or knowledgeable persons such as Plato, Aristotle, Hildegard von Bingen, Leonardo da Vinci, Immanuel Kant, or G.W.F. Hegel. Professor Tom Rockmore described Hegel, for example, as a polymath and "a modern Aristotle, perhaps the last person to know everything of value that was known during his lifetime." Such persons are generally described as such based on their deep cognitive grasp of multiple and diverse fields of inquiry---an intellectually exceptional subset of philosophers who might also be differentiated from the multi-talented, the genius, or the "Renaissance man." It is no longer considered realistic, or feasible, for any one person to be truthfully described as having encyclopedic knowledge. The concept has been subsumed into the discourses on the production of knowledge and artificial intelligence. Instead, we are now preoccupied with knowledgebases distributed as software or web services. == Generating Encyclopedic Knowledge == Edward Said, in his seminal postcolonial work, ''Orientalism'', examines the encyclopedic endeavor in great detail, revealing it to be an historically hegemonic enterprise. Orientalists' "unremitting ambition was to master ''all'' of a world, not some easily delimited part of it such as an author or a collection of texts." Tim Chambers, an early Wikipedian who proposed the name "Wikipedia," has a (page of historical interest ) in the Wikimedia archives entitled "The Value of Encyclopedic Knowledge" in which he describes a new model for growing encyclopedic knowledge "powered by ''numerous'' scholars around the world." The idea of encyclopedic knowledge being re-constellated as a community of knowledge is central to the theory of Connectivism as established by George Siemens and Stephen Downes.
