Translated by Thomas Burger


Table of Contents and Sample Chapters

This is Jurgen Habermas's most concrete historical-sociological book and one of the key contributions to political thought in the postwar period. It will be a revelation to those who have known Habermas only through his theoretical writing to find his later interests in problems of legitimation and communication foreshadowed in this lucid study of the origins, nature, and evolution of public opinion in democratic societies.

He was recently awarded the 2004 Kyoto Prize for Arts and Philosophy by the Inamori Foundation.
