For many years, Newman has presented an annual lecture at Town Hall in Manhattan where he shares a philosophical perspective on broad topics in popular culture.
The End of Knowing:
A New Developmental Way of Learning
By Fred Newman and Lois Holzman

For centuries, knowledge has been thought to be key to human progress of all kinds and has dominated Western culture. But what if knowing has now become an impediment to further human development? The End of Knowing addresses the practical question of how to reconstruct our world when modernist ideas have failed to solve many social problems. Newman and Holzman show how we can give up knowing in favor of "performed activity" and present the many positive implications this has for social and educational policy. (Routledge, 1997)
