Democracy and Technocracy or Political Decision-Making and Expert Knowledge in Contemporary Civilization
Jedna je civilizacija u onoj mjeri oznanstvljena u kojoj pretpostavke o zbilji, na kojima svagda temeljimo naša djelovanja i odluke koje im prethode, više ne nastaju iz našeg općeg iskustva, već su prije proizvodi specijalizirane spoznajne prakse, pobliže proizvodi institucijski osamostaljene znanstvene prakse. Autor skicira stanje koje sve više opterećuje politički sustav u modernim, oznanstvljenim i visokoindustrijaliziranim društvima, gdje se stručnjačko znanje koristi, ali je istodobno i objekt sve oštrije civilizacijske kritike.A civilization is scientific to the same degree to which assumptions concerning
reality- those upon which we base our actions and the decisions that
proceed them- do no more arise from our experience but are rather products
of specialised epistemological practice, i. e. products of an institutionally emancipated
scientific practice. The author outlines a situation which is increasingly
burdening the political system in modern, scientificized, and highly industrialized
societies in which expert knowledge is made use of but is also the object
of a sharpening civilization-centered critique
Tugendterror - höhere Moral als Quelle politischer Gewalt
"'Idealists', Heinrich Heine decided, could neither be directed 'by dread nor by selfishness'. Nothing but good intention fills and motivates them. This, in connection with cognitively uncommon assumptions on reality, that can name the source, out of which the world can be cured, prepares the ground for terrorism. It was this that turned the upright theology student Karl Ludwig Sand into a murderer in 1819. One
hundred years later, with more momentous political consequences, Lenin wrote: 'For us, everything is allowed'.
Ideokratie oder die Geburt der Gewalt aus enttrivialisierter Moral
"Based on Immanuel Kant's dictum by which he states that only goodwill can be considered unconditionally good, both within and without this world, this article seeks to explain how violence can evolve from goodwill. The world - enhancing potential, which is inherent to goodwill and - in an abstract sense - to ideocracy, too, can be further increased by enlightenment. Therefore, one is to create the educational preconditions for improving the world by one's own means. This approach is followed by technocratic ideocracies. Furthermore, totalitarian ideocracies possess 'higher moralism', which calls for the unity of theory and practice." (author's abstract
