Public sphere and social capital in the age of intermediality: Approach from computational social science

Abstract

The development of modern rationality brought about a shift from gemeinschaft to gesellschaft,; the overcoming of natural phenomena by science and technology as well as the expansion of human capacity have become the basic requirement for society's survival.
