"Although Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, a prominent German anthropologist of the Tate Enlightenment, promoted the idea of a natural equality of all men and opposed slavery, he developed a powerful hierarchical taxonomy that classified humankind and that has continued to affect public and scholarly debate on the subject up to the present. The following essay shows that the link between these two apparently contradictory concepts in Blumenbach's thought is to be found within an aesthetic perspective that was not the precursor but already a result of racist discourses of the period."

"The authors provides a general introduction to non-knowledge in the context of sustainability and global change management. It questions if effective global change and sustainability management can ever be evidencebased, and it postulates that non-knowledge illiteracy paradoxically is a major challenge to the knowledge society and education. It gives an overview over different forms of relevant non-knowledge and suggests approaches to nonknowledge assessments for sustainability and how to integrate non-knowledge into education curricula, working towards a new age of enlightenment. Global change managers would be tasked with preparing society for the increasingly uncertain challenges of the future. This would include an induction in adaptive management strategies for complex systems that are characterised by indeterministic tendencies and high risk." (author's abstract)
