This major work retraces the emergence and development of the
Bourgeois public sphere - that is, a sphere which was distinct from
the state and in which citizens could discuss issues of general
interest. In analysing the historical transformations of this
sphere, Habermas recovers a concept which is of crucial
significance for current debates in social and political theory.
Habermas focuses on the liberal notion of the bourgeois public
sphere as it emerged in Europe in the early modern period. He
examines both the writings of political theorists, including Marx,
Mill and de Tocqueville, and the specific institutions and social
forms in which the public sphere was realized.
This brilliant and influential work has been widely recognized
for many years as a classic of contemporary social and political
thought, of interest to students and scholars throughout the social
sciences and humanities.
