Abstract

	Idea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When a man, for example, has obtained an idea of chairs in general by comparison with which he can say “This is a chair, that is a stool,” he has what is known as an “abstract idea” distinct from the reproduction in his mind of any particular chair (see abstraction).
		Thus the idea of a centaur is a complex mental picture composed of the ideas of man and horse, that of a mermaid of a woman and a fish.
		Those types of law are intended to protect the exploitation of the expression of the ideas of creators and authors for a limited period of time in a form of monopoly.

		The concept of a futures orientation is illustrated well in the descriptive metaphor of the hockey puck, which symbolizes the increasingly fast-paced changes of life today.
		The idea of the “common good” grows out of this perspective of the individual (a central concept in social psychology is that man is a social animal who develops in the context of interaction with others).
		In the future, the emerging complexity of society and the real-time information available due to improved technologies ensures that more and more people will have the opportunity to be involved with decisions that affect their lives.

	Salon.com Technology \| Internet liberation theology
		In "The Future of Ideas" Lawrence Lessig explains why ham-handed efforts to increase copyright protection are a threat to freedom and prosperity.
		In "The Future of Ideas" Lessig argues that future prosperity is impossible without the freedom to innovate -- but that freedom is under attack by vested interests.
		Lessig's effort to bind innovation to prosperity is as big an idea, perhaps, as Adam Smith's rebuke to the mercantilists in "The Wealth of Nations." Although free-market capitalists look to Smith as their intellectual fountainhead, Smith was not battling the yet-to-be-born Karl Marx in the latter part of the 18th century.

		Lawrence Lessig's "The Future of Ideas" could have been titled "The Significance of the Electronic Frontier in American History." Lessig sees the Internet as harboring a unique character that accounts for its importance and for which it is under attack.

		The Future of Ideas is obviously not about biology.
		Lessig suggests that through a combination of intense activity on the part of industry, inaction by the consuming public, and complicity by government regulators, common ideas and goods are being privatized, with subsequent use controlled by those able to pull off the caper.
		With his experience as special master in the Microsoft antitrust trial, and his role in Eldred vs. Ashcroft, Lessig is perhaps the person best qualified to tell this story.
