    Abstract

    This dissertation criticizes the narrow focus of the current political philosophy of technology on power relations and expands this focus with Hannah Arendt’s analysis of politics as intersubjective sense-making. By integrating Hannah Arendt's political philosophy and insights from the philosophy of human-technology relations, this dissertation develops a framework that makes it possible to investigate the political significance of technology in a more adequate way - which she makes visible by analyzing the Gezi Park protests in Turkey in 2013.
