Intellectual Activism in Knowledge Organization is an interdisciplinary analysis of the Chinese bibliographic tradition written for a wide audience. In particular, the study investigates the classification applied in the Seven Epitomes《七略》, the first library catalog on record in Chinese history, completed a few years before the Common Era. It is important to study this classification, which is said to have established the model for the entire Chinese bibliographic tradition, where classification has always been an integral part and the sole mechanism for organization. While influential, neither the classificatory principles nor the structure of the classification are well understood. In the book, Lee Hur-Li conducts a hermeneutic study of three main aspects of the classification: the classification’s epistemology, its overall classificatory mechanics, and its concept of author as an organizing element. Taking a socio-epistemological approach, the study applies an analytical framework to the examination of the classification in its proper social, cultural, historical, and technological contexts. Lee concludes by summarizing the major achievements of the classification and articulating implications of the findings for various disciplines.





畫面中可以看見，一隻擁有白色翅膀、身軀，紅色腹部加上黑色斑點的「燈蛾」正在地板爬行，最奇特的是牠腹部尾端，分別有4條灰色「發香器」伸出來不停晃動，發香器上也佈滿了細微觸鬚，整個外形實在相當特殊，原PO也疑問說，「這是什麼新品種？好酷！」
