ABSTRACT

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, a topic of the times, is characterized by the technological convergence of physics, digital and biology that is laying the foundation for a paradigm shift in society. Both positive and negative views on the Fourth Industrial Revolution emphasize the strengthening of democracy. This is because the Fourth Industrial Revolution is causing a concentration of power. Therefore, this paper examines citizenship for strengthening democracy, and citizenship needed in the fourth industrial revolution era. The paradigmatic changes to be expected from the Fourth Industrial Revolution require a shift of thinking to match them. This transformation of thinking is also valid for citizenship for the smooth functioning of democracy. With regard to the transformation of thinking about citizenship, this paper suggests the need to discuss rights and obligations from a neo-republican perspective in order to articulate the rights and obligations of individual citizens in the community. In relation to the transformation of thinking about freedom, which is an important value from a libertarian point of view, this paper has sought the meaning of freedom from civic virtue for political achievement based on Skinner's argument that it can be found in the absence of arbitrary power. We have also worked Pettit’s view of compliance with the duty of duty in the concept of freedom of non-domination in relation to the obligation of importance from a republican point of view. Such attempts are an important element of democracy needed to solve the problems of the Fourth Industrial Revolution era caused by the concentration of power, based on the absence of arbitrary power and the freedom of non–domination.
