Die Zukunft des Offentlichen? Ist das Offentliche im Zeitalter der Privatisierung, der Globalisierung und letztlich der grundsatzlich gepflegten Skepsis nicht eher eine Idee der Vergangenheit? In welcher Offentlichkeit wird die Zukunft des Offentlichen noch diskutierbar und diskutiert? Was ist heute eigentlich das Private und das Privatisierbare? Was ist das Politische und das Okonomische am Offentlichen? Dieser Herausgeberband geht diesen Fragen der Zukunft sowie der Analyse der offenkundig eigenwilligen Verschiebungen der Differenz zwischen dem Offentlichen und Privaten auf sehr...

Karl Mannheim s Ideology and Utopia has been a profoundly provocative book. The debate about politics and social knowledge that was spawned by its original publication in 1929 attracted the most promising younger scholars, some of whom shaped the thought of several generations. The book became a focus for a debate on the methodological and epistemological problems confronting German social science. More than thirty major papers were published in response to Mannheim s text. Writers such as Hannah Arendt, Ernst Robert Curtius, Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse, Helmuth Plessner, Hans...

As we move through our modern world, the phenomenon we call knowledge is always involved. Whether we talk of know-how, technology, innovation, politics or education, it is the concept of knowledge that ties them all together. But despite its ubiquity as a modern trope we seldom encounter knowledge in itself. How is it produced, where does it reside, and who owns it? Is knowledge always beneficial, will we know all there is to know at some point in the future, and does knowledge really equal power? This book pursues an original approach to this concept that seems to define so many aspects...

Social surveillance and regulation of knowledge will be one of the most important issues in the near future, one that will give rise to unending controversy. In The Governance of Knowledge, Nico Stehr predicts that such concerns will create a new political field, namely, knowledge policy, which will entail regulating dissemination of the anticipated results of rapidly increasing knowledge. The number and range of institutionalized standards for monitoring new knowledge has hitherto been relatively small. Only in cases of technological applications has social control, in the form of political...

Wir haben eine neue Phase in öffentlichen Auseinandersetzungen über die gesellschaftliche Rolle der Wissenschaft erreicht. Die kontroverse Diskussion um embryonale Stammzellen, Neurogenetik, Xenotransplantationen oder reproduktives Klonen macht beispielsweise deutlich, dass die Frage nach den sozialen Voraussetzungen und Folgen ungebremst expandierender (natur-) wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse zur dringlichen Problematik der gesellschaftlichen Tagesordnung und des politischen Alltags wird. Die gegenwärtige Diskussion über die Rolle neuer wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse mündet nicht...
