Summary/Abstract: Learning today is not for the sake of knowing but rather the other way round: we learn for the sake of learning to be able to relearn techniques, procedures, and routines. Knowledge helps us to do this: it is easier to model the new if there is an old model to compare it with, if the models have data, content and therefore a face. Interpretation, critique, scepticism, and curiosity are all basic skills that sustain learning itself, rather than promising the acquisition of measurable, accumulable knowledge. Because what we think we know today, we will have to doubt tomorrow, or even abandon it in favour of something new, effective, relevant, and different. Those who wish to maintain literacy, awareness, and aculture of meaning must concentrate not on the content of knowledge, not onthe many, and not on the more but on the operations that drive the processes of reinterpretation and reorganization: the operations of doubt, questioning, interpretation, and openness.
