“…Accordingly, from a prudence-ethical point of view, the avoidance of systematic constraints, the avoidance of restrictions on actors and decision-making capabilities, as well as the preservation of revisability and compensability must become a central value in the design of socio-technical systems. If these process-oriented criteria remain a matter of subjective value assessments of discourse participants in multi-criteria decision analyses in TA there is a danger to the possibility of acting in accordance with a well-funded precautionary principle and thus jeopardize the conditions of the possibility of responsible action (Kornwachs 2000). A good example for such a problem is the development of the transport system in Germany: With regard to these higher-level values and criteria, there never should have been such a one-sided, coercive transport policy which is now hardly able to react to uprising problems like climate change, lack of urban space, noise pollution, etc.…”

Technikfolgenabschätzung (TA) ist vor über 50 Jahren zur Unterstützung demokratischer Meinungsbildung und Entscheidungsfindung entstanden. Sie hat sich seitdem in demokratischen Gesellschaften westlichen Typs weiterentwickelt und diversifiziert. Dieses Modell ist seit einigen Jahren mit Herausforderungen konfrontiert, darunter: (1) In fast allen westlichen Ländern wird anlässlich des Erstarkens populistischer Strömungen von einer Krise der Demokratie gesprochen. (2) Die Digitalisierung ermöglicht neue Kommunikations- und Mobilisierungsmuster weitab von den klassischen Formen demokratischer Meinungs- und Willensbildung. (3) Basisdemokratische und partizipative Verhandlungen werden für die Ausgestaltung und Akzeptanz von neuen Technologien immer relevanter. In dieser Einführung entfalten wir diese Herausforderungen und geben einen Überblick über die Beiträge des TATuP-Themas.

Democratic majority principle in trouble?

Due to a lack of religious or metaphysical orientation in modern Western societies, interpersonal conflicts of interest and value are solved under the premise of individuals acting rationally through the interaction on a free market and the formation of political majorities gaining legislative power. However, the legitimacy of this approach becomes increasingly questionable when it comes to sustainability conflicts. In view of this, Hans Jonas considered the possibility of the need to suspend democratic institutions in favor of a benevolent tyrant to avert a potential catastrophe. Since any form of centralism comes with its own problems of legitimacy, utilizing the more modest orientation claims of prudence ethics is a more promising alternative in deliberations on the justifiability of an occasional suspension of the majority principle without exposing a society to the dangers of domineering arbitrariness.
