Abstract
In this conceptual study, we delve into the intricate relationship between human agency, referred to as “self”, and the process of knowledge creation. Drawing inspiration from Derrida's concept of deconstruction and Levinas's idea of the Other, our research explores how knowledge emerges through the integration of the self with the Other, leading to a continuous process of self-(de)construction. Building upon Nonaka and Takeuchi's SECI model (1995), which highlights the spiral of socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization in knowledge creation, our model introduces the concept of Exploration of the Other, Interaction with the Other, Combination with the Other, and Self-(De)construction (EICS). Our study contributes to the existing literature on knowledge creation in two significant ways. Firstly, it integrates a philosophical approach into the understanding of knowledge creation, adding a novel dimension to the existing perspectives. Secondly, it sheds light on the pivotal role of the individual (the self) within the locus of knowledge creation in the context of a knowledge-based economy.
