Abstract

Knowledge is widely regarded as the most valuable wealth but there has not been a systematic theory of knowledge existed yet till the present time. An attempt is thus made in the paper to present the results of a preliminary study of Knowledge Theory. The results reported here contains three parts: fundamentals of the theory, the main body of the theory — the mechanism of knowledge creation from information and the mechanism of intelligence creation from knowledge, and the impact that Knowledge Theory may have.

The work was supported by the grant from Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No.69982001).
