The knowledge 2.0: a new common good

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to emphasize how the knowledge 2.0 is a product of a plural, connected, participated and co-created action. It may, by its own nature, be assimilated to the concepts of “good” and “common” and it is connected the “co-creative” process, typical of the participatory culture. In this perspective, the user has a new active role (he is user and producer at the same time). This work intends to explore the concepts of knowledge 2.0, universal rights and the close correlation between each other. By the logic of current literature around common goods, it is necessary a pedagogical ratio as a pre-political action and essential element to enable the process of democratization of knowledge in the digital evolution. The realization of a pedagogical project based on awareness of rights is a necessity for a society free from the individual's interest. It is the begin of a new social contract focused on the common good.
