”Behold! Human beings living in a sort of underground den, which has a mouth open
towards the light and reaching all across the den; they have been here from their childhood, and have
their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them; for the chains are
arranged in such a manner as to prevent them from turning round their heads. At a distance above and
behind them the light of a fire is blazing, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way;
and you will see, if you look, a low wall built along the way, like the screen which marionette players
have before them, over which they show the puppets.
I see, he said.
And do you see, I said, men passing along the wall carrying vessels, which appear over the
wall; also figures of men and animals, made of wood and stone and various materials; and some of the
prisoners, as you would expect, are talking, and some of them are silent?
This is a strange image, he said, and they are strange prisoners.
Like ourselves, I replied; and they see only their own shadows, or the shadows of one
another, which the fire throws on the opposite wall of the cave?
True, he said: how could they see anything but the shadows if they were never allowed to
move their heads?
And of the objects which are being carried in like manner they would see only the shadows?
Yes, he said.
And if they were able to talk with one another, would they not suppose that they were
naming what was actually before them?”

”The world that we have to deal with politically is out of
reach, out of sight, out of mind. It has to be explored, reported and imagined.”
Public Opinion, Walter Lippmann
”The press … has come to be regarded as an organ of direct
democracy, charged on a much wider scale, and from day to
day, with the function often attributed to the initiative,
referendum, and recall. The Court of Public Opinion, open
day and night, is to lay down the law for everything all the
time. It is not workable. And when you consider the nature
of news, it is not even thinkable.”
Public Opinion, Walter Lippmann
” … The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the
beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing
one episode and then another out of darkness into vision.
Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone.
They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, and
eruptions.”
Public Opinion, Walter Lippmann
Ideel politisk proces - Walter Lippmann
1) Experts organize facts for men of action
2) Responsible men of action (politicians) make
decisions on behalf of the public
3) Publicity from the press civilizes politicians and
4) Help the public decide who should be ”in” and
”out” in politics
”The manner of presentation is so objective and projective
that one finishes the book almost without realizing that it is
perhaps the most effective indictment of democracy … ever
penned.”
John Dewey, anmeldelse i The New Republic
”There is more than a verbal tie between the words
common, community, and communication. Men live in
a community in virtue of things which they have in
common; and communication is the way in which they
come to possess things in common."
Democracy and education, John Dewey
”There is too much a public, a public too diffused and scattered and too intricate in composition. And there are too
many publics … and each one of them crosses the others and
generates its own group of persons especially affected with
little to hold these different publics together in an integrated
whole."
The Public and its problems, John Dewey
For Dewey er det ikke rigtigt, at offentlighedens vitalitet
"depends essentially upon freeing and perfecting the processes of inquiry and of dissemination." I stedet er målet at "the improvement of the methods and conditions of debate,
discussion and persuasion," (1927: 208) hvormed offentligheden - eller offentlighederne - kan udveksle holdninger og
koordinere handlinger.
