Digital Culture and the Hermeneutic Tradition - Suspicion, Trust, and Dialogue

In our information age, deciding what and whom to trust is a pressing matter. This book revaluates the hermeneutic tradition for digital culture, covering three dimensions: suspicion, trust, dialogue. Can we move beyond a surplus of both trust and distrust in and on platforms, towards new forms of intersubjective dialogue?
