RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PUBLIC SPHERE IN THE SOCI...

The aim of this book is to establish a basis for resolving the various issues facing modern
society by exploring the field of Computational Social Science  which fuses the social and
natural sciences. Today  society is threatened by problems concerning the environment 
population growth  hunger and epidemics  all of which could lead to the extinction of
humankind. However  attempting to resolve these issues is extremely difficult  because of the
complex  intertwined factors involved  and because these issues are not just matters related to
nature and the environment but also to society. In this book  we investigate this aporia of the
social sciences with the help of big data (which has gained considerable attention in recent
years) and techniques such as agent-based simulation. Our aim is to resolve the complex system
problems characteristic of the present age. In this regard  the book focuses on specific issues
such as the reconstruction of public character in our social-media-saturated modern lifestyle 
the current state of social capital  and the resultant social changes.
