20.500.12556/RUL-156068 Datafied empiricism versus normative publicness a philosophical grounding for assessing the influence of new technologies on the digital public sphere New technologies of algorithmisation, data mining, and artificial intelligence appear to elicit contentious impacts on the public sphere. Evaluations of these effects frequently diverge. A noticeable schism exists between critical/normative perspective, which highlights the problematic aspects of data exploitation, surveillance, and imperialism, and market-oriented empirical approaches. Drawing on a conceptual–historical argumentation that links current developments to a longer tradition of social communication research rooted in Enlightenment philosophy, the article highlights the contrast between the normative conceptualisations of publicness and public use of reason on the one hand, and empirical approaches aimed at measuring and managing the public(s) and public opinion on the other. The article first identifies the role of the opposition between Humean empiricism, which is based on the principle of conformity to past habits, and Kantian pure law of publicity, which is systematically opposed to such empiricism on many different layers. This opposition is also rooted in the Enlightenment foundational divide between religious and civil communities. It seems that today, with the predominance of data-driven approaches in adapting opinion to past expectations and beliefs, we are paradoxically again returning to the principles similar to those of functioning of pre-modern (religion- and tradition-based) communities. publicness public sphere big-data normative philosophy empiricism enlightenment javnost masovni podatki filozofija empirizem true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-05-07 12:48:06 2024-05-07 12:48:13 2024-05-08 04:01:30 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 106-122 no. 1 Vol. 31 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 165.64:659.3/.4 1318-3222 10.1080/13183222.2024.2320534 194619907 Kaluza_Javnost_2024_popr.pdf Kaluza_Javnost_2024_popr.pdf 1 1354287471889418E83CCC3BA47F2A55 12e46650cb1a7d4f5238936b3f8f715a0b74523db85392dc9c243fee4d108fa6 e738559c-0c5f-11ef-a791-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=183295 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13183222.2024.2320534 0 3a7f4e12-0c60-11ef-a791-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=183296 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
