From The Public Sphere And Deliberative Democracy

The purport of this text is to pass one study of key categories of political philosophy of Habermas. Public sphere and deliberative democracy, and the inherent and construct logic research of the two, probe into the dependability of its theoretical foundation, clarify the norm that Habermas confers the democratic mode then and link degree and realistic result.Habermas confers from public sphere contribution that theory plan of democracy lie in through emphasize words and political relation that will form to construct to build then, the ones that have stressed the relation between democracy and contacts reason of unsubject, such radical democratic form has surmounted traditional liberalism democracy and republicanism doctrine democracy, vacancy of remedying traditional revolutionary ideology after hiding in a certain meaning. But, On one hand, it is based on contacts reason of the public sphere that his deliberative democratic theory stands, and appeal to the language common understanding under the ideal situation , is hung and set up by a kind of normal democracy, organizational system in very difficult reality; On the other hand , because believe in the national system of the capitalist constitution excessivly , ignore even disdain the inherent analysis to own structure of public sphere, only regards it as the backyard of democracy, but not the forward position of democracy, lack due politics to criticize to capitalist reality. In fact, think of the ideal direction of radical democracy that the mankind already far away from Marx liberates completely in his theory, slip into the liberalism tradition of capitalist class.Habermas grows up in the school of Frankfort then, thinks the Left criticizes the traditional real successor. Its thought is evolved and has been influenced by the fact that western Marxism theory is changed wholly, dyed silently by the invistible and intangible change with traditional liberalism, originally really criticize spirit and go far gradually with Marxism firmly , actual result degree is limited for its democratic theory. But bypass his theory purport with inclined to not talking, Habermas's democratic visual angle and it's construct offer us managing dish improve contemporary , especially democracy and legal construction with a great deal of enlightenment to build.
