Don't miss "Unsocial Thought, Uncommon Lives," a symposium across three issues of Common Knowledge.

Individual subscribers and institutions with electronic access can view issues of Common Knowledge online. If you have not signed up, review the first-time access instructions.

The mission of Common Knowledge is both incredibly ambitious and shockingly simple: open up lines of communication between the academy and the community of thoughtful people outside its walls. Common Knowledge was created to form a new intellectual model, one based on conversation and cooperation rather than on metaphors adopted from sports and war, of “sides” that one must “take.” The pages of Common Knowledge are sure to challenge the ways we think about theory and its relevance to humanity.
