Digitalization implies a wide range of transformation processes at all levels of democratic societies. The political, public and academic debates about digitalization and democracy have always been controversial and still are today. Greatly intensified research activities in recent years have expanded our knowledge about the effects of digitalization, but show that debates still range from optimistic views to sceptic or even dystopian perspectives. The former emphasize the potential of the internet to drive innovation in society and to enhance democracy. Moreover, the expanding digitalization of everyday life seems as an opportunity for increasing individualism and free choice. From this perspective it is claimed that digital technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and algorithms are to be seen as helpful tools in optimizing social life. In contrast, skeptical views highlighting the risks and even threats of digitalization for democratic values have increased recently. This finds expression in many well-researched aspects such as the growing relevance of fake news and “alternative facts” online. Algorithmic filtering promotes visibility of polarizing content and politically extreme positions. Furthermore, social media platforms can no longer be seen as neutral gathering places for rule-governed discourse. In addition, it is warned about digital technology and AI threatening autonomous decision making and the digitalization of everyday life is critically viewed as a misuse of data in terms of public surveillance and control. All of this makes it necessary to further research the role of digitization with regard to strengthening and preserving democracy in the digital age.This is an open access book.The EditorsMario Anastasiadis (PhD, born 1975)&nbsp;&nbsp;is managing director and scientific coordinator in the Research Program and Graduate School NRW “Digital Society” funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the German State of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Mental Health in Historical Perspective

This book explores the marginalisation of thousands of asylum patients who were removed from their home institutions in Scotland during the First World War to make way for soldiers. Examining what life was like for Scotland's mentally ill civilians from 1914-1934, the author explains why and how asylums were taken over by the War Office, and how this created a divide between civilians and soldiers, carved mostly by politicians and the media. The book sheds light on the painstaking process asylum doctors in Scotland went through to find homes for thousands of patients, and how they found ways to protect their health and wellbeing. Providing insights into the patient hierarchy within Scottish asylums, the author argues that soldiers were not the protected class of patient that politicians and the military tried to portray them as. Drawing from the words of Scotland’s asylum patients themselves, this important book highlights the voices of the mentally ill in Scotland during not only a tumultuous period for their nation, but for themselves.Jennifer Farquharson is an independent researcher specialising in early twentieth-century mental healthcare in Scotland, architectural history, and building conservation. She currently works in the heritage sector at Historic Environment Scotland, where she communicates specialist research to general audiences through books, online learning, exhibitions, films, and more.

This book &nbsp;reexamines the development of sociology during the Weimar Republic, characterising it as a period of remarkable theoretical, institutional, and disciplinary vitality.&nbsp;Contrary to conventional assumptions, sociology experienced a dynamic phase of professionalisation and differentiation during this period, establishing itself both as an academic discipline and as a practice of societal self-reflection in a time of economic, political, social, and cultural upheaval. By engaging with the crises of democracy, capitalism, new media, modernity, relativism, intellectual life, and identity, sociology came to play a crucial orienting role within Weimar society.
The professional self-examination of modern society that this initiated continues to yield valuable insights into how social and historical processes unfold in modern societies. As such, studying sociology during the Weimar period is not just of interest to historians of science; it remains highly relevant to anyone seeking to understand the dynamics and structures of contemporary modern societies.
Volume 2 examines how sociology in the Weimar Republic positioned itself in response to the economic, political, social, and intellectual crises of modernity. Set against a backdrop of fragmentation, relativism, and a perceived absence of normative foundations, the book traces key debates over how sociology might provide coherence and direction. One section considers the theoretical approaches developed to challenge historicism and epistemic uncertainty. Another investigates the emergence of a sociology of intellectuals, reflecting on the role of thought leaders in a society marked by polarisation and ideological upheaval. A third section explores sociological analyses of the era’s central crises—democracy under strain, capitalism in turmoil, the ambivalence of individualisation, and the longing for community and cultural meaning. Across these responses, the volume reveals sociology’s self-understanding as a science of orientation and societal reflection — an ambition that remains as urgent today as it was in the Weimar era.
Stephan Moebius&nbsp;is&nbsp;Full Professor of&nbsp;Sociological Theory and Intellectual History at the&nbsp;University of Graz, Austria, and a full&nbsp;member&nbsp;of the&nbsp;Austrian&nbsp;Academy of Sciences (ÖAW).
