The aim of this article is to review the strengths and weaknesses of the theoretical concept of the knowledge society. In the first part of the article the basic idea of the knowledge society is briefly sketched. The second part explores the roots of the concept - grounded in the theories of the post-industrial and the information societies. The third part offers an outline of the basic features of the knowledge society. In the fourth part, current attempts at re-defining the knowledge society are discussed. In the fifth and final part, the author addresses the concept's weak points and suggests a new concept of a 'society of intensified knowledge processes' as more appropriate.
