Paul Otlet's book and the writing of social space

Ron Day

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1997, vol. 48, issue 4, 310-317

Abstract: This article argues that a close reading of Otlet's notion of the book in his Traité de documentation, along with the general metaphysics in his Monde, reveals a concern with force and dynamics which undermine traditional notions of the book, and raise questions about accepted readings of Otlet which characterize his work as positivistic. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
