The Status of Rationality in the Public Sphere in the perspective of (Jürgen Habermas)

Abstract

The concept of public sphere is of great importance in the political philosophy and philosophy of German philosopher (Jürgen Habermas), especially after the Second World War when democratic values ​​and principles spread throughout the world. (Habermas) one of the theorists of “consultative democracy” wants in the space of public sphere to develop this kind of democracy, so rationality public sphere is a prerequisite for any society to develop “consultative democracy”, because all citizens in public sphere equal in free and rational debate without Compression, coercion and coercion around the issue, subject, problem, and phenomena involved so that a kind of consensus and agreement can be formed between them through the communicative act, produced by the words of the pilgrims and the Hermeneutics, to reach the truth and reveal the hidden and mysterious meaning behind the words and actions of the persons among themselves. We divided the subjects of this research into two axes; in the first axis we explained the term public sphere in (Habermas). In the second axis we talked about the rational dimensions that (Habermas) is developing in the public sphere in order to expand and advance the area of ​​public sphere in the form of (Habermas), which is believed to be one of the most important individuals in the public sphere. In the discourse, in order to understand the path of the Hermeneutic Science, the perception is attempted in the sense of the content of the discourse and record the highest level of rationality in the communicative action.
