What are the chief challenges posed to contemporary democracy by
modern technology, and how can democratic theory best respond to,
or at least reflect on, those challenges? Inhabiting the kind of
technologically advanced era in which we live, what sources are
available within political theory for theoretical insight
concerning the problem of democratic engagement with technology?
The purpose of this volume is to canvas a broad range of theorists
and theoretical traditions in order to address these questions,
including Hegel and Marx, Rousseau and John Dewey, Heidegger and
Simone Weil, Habermas and Walter Benjamin, Hannah Arendt and Hans
Jonas. Commentaries on all these important thinkers -- focused on
the issue of contemporary technology as posing unique social and
political challenges for democratic political life -- yields rich
and ambitious resources for theoretical reflection.
