Adam and Dewey

Check out this SlideShare Presentation. I've just edited together the slides and the recording of a talk I gave to the Librarians' Christian Fellowship in St Nic's Nottingham in April 2009. It's about 40 minutes long and deals with the theology of knowing and of culture coming out of the story of Adam giving names to the animals. It covers things like language, taxonomy, constructivism and refers to Borges, the periodic table and a fantasy novel ... are you interested yet?
