I he link between liberty and knowledge is neither static nor simple. Until
recently, the mutual support between knowledge, science, democracy, and
emancipation was presupposed. Recently, however, the close relationship
between democracy and knowledge has been viewed with skepticism.
I he growing societal reliance on specialized knowledge often appears to
actually undermine democracy. Is it that we do not know enough, or that
we know too much? What are the implications for the freedom of societies
and their citizens? Does knowledge help or heed them in unraveling the
complexity of new challenges?
I his book systematically explores the shitting dynamics of knowledge
production and the implications for the conditions and practices of
freedom. It considers the growth of knowledge about knowledge and the
impact of an evolving media. It argues for a revised understanding oi
the societal role of knowledge and presents the concept of “knowledge
societies as a major resource for liberty.
