I confessed to total ignorance, but ignorance has never deterred me in the past - and so I took a leap. It turned out that Nescience was a literal translation of the German "Nichtwissen," which might also be rendered "ignorance." But it also turned out that none of those translations really got to the heart of the matter, or at least what I think is the heart of the matter. Of course, I could be dead wrong. But right or wrong, I have had a marvelous time exploring what I think may be some rather new perspectives on Open Space and the ways in which Open Space may contribute to our understanding of this wonderful new fad - Knowledge Management. I would love to hear any thoughts or comments you might have. The piece is rather too long to post here (20+ pages) so I have placed the full document on Openspaceworld.com
http://www.openspaceworld.com/Opening%20Space%20for%20The%20Question.htm If you have some editorial suggestions (which I welcome) you might send them directly to me at hho...@comcast.net However, if your onion is tickled (weird Americanism for "curiosity aroused") you might share your reflection/thoughts/comments right here on OSLIST. I suppose this could become rather cumbersome, but if you quoted from the paper so that others might know the context, maybe it will all work.
