Social Science
[Introduction to Contents]
An Seishin translation of "The Phantom Public" (1925), which can be said to be a sequel to the famous 『 Opinion 』 ("Public Opinion", 1922), written more concisely and with more awareness of the general readers, has appeared.
Moreover, this book is not a mere sequel to 『 Opinion 』, but it is a good book crystallized by coolly analyzing the nature of popular democracy and expressing it more clearly, more intensely, and more vocally than 『 Opinion 』.
In the first half of the 20th century in the United States, which was already enjoying prosperity as a great power, the attitude and views of Lippman, who calmly grasped "the emergence of a nation-state and the development of large-scale industries" after the First World War as "completely new problems of modern society" (Chapter 15), and continued to look at politics, war, democracy, and the mass media, should be noted and read carefully 100 years later.
