- Title
Being a master of metaphors.
- Authors
Buchstein, Hubertus
- Abstract
In his political interventions, Jürgen Habermas is a first-class rhetorician. It produces a "peculiar anonymous intimacy" (p. 62) which Habermas coins a " I Halböffentlichkeit i " (p. 65 - semi-public sphere) of echo chambers and filter bubbles.[5] However, this speculation puts Habermas in a dilemma. In his book I The Theory of Communicative Action i , Habermas defined the public sphere as "a virtually present network of communication" (Habermas, [11], p. 390) that is freed from any spatiotemporally restricted context. Thirty years after Habermas first published his seminal book about the public sphere stated that there was "cause for a less pessimistic assessment" (Habermas, [15], p. 457) of it and of the future of democracy itself.
