A Structure of the Paper Three Theses A Historical Excursus A Philosophical Excursus What Shall We Do?
Three theses The promise of democracy: many people live relatively independent, autonomous live. The promise of modernity: Self emerges from relations. Many mutually balanced relations create freedom. „Freedom In“. The dark side of modernity: Quick and deep change resulted in an inadequate reaction of Romanticism.

A Historical Eexcursus The rural traditional society = dependence on land political inactive, social rigid, and unchangable versus The town life = dependence on commerce many relations, many abstract bonds, the to be calculable and legible for others the lab of the modern time live The shift to the modern society = emergence of the conditions for the modern type of individuality the conditions for democracy
A Philosophical ExcursusJohn Dewey: Publics and Its Problems Dewey: abolition of individuality = result of many social movements, society in change thanks to „powers of steam and electricity“ the libertarian explanation of the relation I <–>S = the ideology; political construction intentionaly built -> psychology (isolated consciousness), economy (natural law of production and exchange) IF THERE IS ANY CHANGE IN SOCIETY, THERE MUST BE CHANGE IN INDIVIDUALITY AND VICE VERSA (intelligent reconstruction of conditions) TASKS
What Shall We Do? 5 theses: We need know history for understanding conditons, not for a help. Nationalism was a tool for solvation of the matter of the modern society. It was the inappropriate tool. Disappearing of national „certainty“ is a chance, not a danger. Identity is a malleable function of adjsuting of individual and society. The loose identy is more useful than rigid one in the late modern society.
What Shall We Do? An example: Liessmann´s Theory of Uneducation Criticisms is RIGHT: PISA, ELTC mechanism, standardization of forms and contents of univrsity education. Determination of the core of problem is WRONG: The Myth of the Humboldtian Bildung (= a display of the Romantic nostalgia).
