From Islamism to climate debate: Radical wholeness conceptions and experiences challenge democracies. Forms of radicality present challenges that modern societies face (again). The comprehensive claim of such currents is derived from radical world concepts whose closeness ("totality") does not allow alternatives. Individual autonomy claims and democratically influenced procedural regulations are systematically suppressed: in political autocracies, for religious reasons, but partly also in view of an impending ecological catastrophe that requires new, rapid patterns of action. Drawing on different concepts of wholeness and wholeness experiences, the band illuminates what this means for structures of democratic understanding, how to potentially escape total access through "marginality" and what role media technologies play for "radical totality". With contributions by Dan Diner, Jürgen Fohrmann, Carl Friedrich Gethmann, Thomas Kempf, Gudrun Krämer, Stefanie Middendorf, Igor Narskii, Christian Neumeier, Erik Schilling, Arbogast Schmitt, Andrea Schütte and Friedemann Voigt.
