Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Phantom Public' is a seminal work of political philosophy and social criticism by Walter Lippmann. This profound treatise challenges the traditional concept of the omnicompetent citizen and the idealized notion of a sovereign public. Lippmann argues that the increasing complexity of modern society makes it impossible for individual citizens to possess the expert knowledge required to make informed decisions on every issue of public policy. Instead, he posits that the public is largely a phantom-a reactive body that only intervenes in affairs during times of crisis. Through incisive analysis, Lippmann explores the limitations of democratic theory and the practical realities of governance in a specialized world. He suggests that the true role of the public is not to direct the course of government, but to provide a check on the exercise of power and to choose between competing leaders. This work remains a cornerstone of twentieth-century political thought, offering essential insights into the nature of democracy, the power of media, and the challenges of collective decision-making in a technological age. 'The Phantom Public' continues to be a vital resource for students of political science, sociology, and journalism, prompting readers to reconsider the fundamental relationship between the individual and the state.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
