On A New Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere and Deliberative Politics
 
[Patreon Tier III & IV Exclusive]
 
Continuing our theme of "the intelligentsia & the public," we discuss German critical theorist Jürgen Habermas's 2023 book, asking what sort of political culture is required for democracy.

What role do the institutions of the public sphere and the media have in producing, sustaining or undermining this culture?

  • How does Habermas' account contrast with B. Anderson on print capitalism?

  • Is 'deliberative' democracy a trap? Who sets the rules of deliberation?

  • Is a good media structure a 'constitutional imperative'?

  • How do interests fit into Habermas' model? Do we need to leave our interests at the door?
