»The most significant modern work on its subject ... Habermas offers perhaps the richest, best developed conceptualization available of the social nature and foundations of public life. As scholars set out to make sense of the growing wealth of empirical research on the topics related to this theme, this book will form an indispensable point of theoretical departure.« Craig J. Calhoun, Contemporary Sociology
