"Habermas sees the modern public sphere as, in many ways, the victim of its own success. As it expanded far beyond its original basis of educated male property-owners, material inequalities could no longer be set aside, but rather became the subject of public debate (1962 [1989: 127]). And this debate was no longer a matter of rational-critical analysis of state action by the assembled public, but of negotiation between interest groups which bypass public reason. Instead of the approximation of society to the ideal type, what emerged was an impoverished pseudo-public sphere, lacking its original capacity for rational-critical discourse, easily manipulated by states, corporations, and interest groups using the techniques of 'public relations' (1962 [1989: 176, 236]). Its role now, as in the feudal era, is to acclaim decisions which have already been made." [encyclopædia] #IRLPhilosopherJurgenHabermas #TheoryThePublicSphere #PoliticsFeudalism [Wikipedia]
