The Problems of Consensus: An Inquiry into Democratic and Decentralized Principles

Beschreibung

This Brief publication is a unique and multidisciplinary study of the problem of consensus from moral, epistemological, religious, and sociological standpoint, in addition to the computational perspective grounded in computer science (focused on data management and distributed computing). It broadly explores two fronts: the first part focuses on ethics and humanities, while the second part focuses on computational and algorithmic aspects explained intuitively.  This book is a genuine call for reflection aimed at a two-fold audience of technologists and philosophers including students, researchers, and practitioners interested in such technological-emerging ethical and social issues.
