Abstract
Abstract:This article argues that Jan-Werner Müller in “What Spaces Does Democracy Need?” overemphasizes the danger for democratic engagement inherent in the medium of the internet. It claims that the main problem with online discourse is one that comes from without and one that faces in-person discourse as well, and that is the danger of increased privatization and the erosion of a truly public sphere. Nonetheless, online sites can and do still play an important role in our political projects, a role that is not necessarily less significant than the role that physical sites play.
摘要:本文论述了Jan-Werner m ller在《民主需要什么样的空间?》过分强调了互联网媒介固有的民主参与的危险。它声称，网络话语的主要问题来自外部，也面临着面对面的话语，那就是日益私有化的危险和对真正公共领域的侵蚀。尽管如此，在线网站仍然可以并且确实在我们的政治项目中发挥重要作用，这种作用并不一定比实体网站所起的作用小。
