More about the book

Exploring the evolving relationship between knowledge and democracy, the book examines how increased reliance on specialized knowledge may threaten democratic practices. It questions whether an abundance of information hinders or enhances societal freedom, addressing the implications for citizens facing complex challenges. By analyzing the dynamics of knowledge production and the influence of modern media, it advocates for a redefined understanding of knowledge's societal role, introducing the idea of 'knowledge societies' as a vital resource for promoting liberty.
