After having proven the segregating stakes in these processes, the article shows that the concept of public opinion is not reduced to a normative definition ― either in the cultivated sense of a rational discussion or i...
治安意见:精英、科学与民意
摘要对18世纪公共舆论产生的不同社会历史概念催生了哈贝马斯关于公共领域的著作,这些概念使我们能够思考公共舆论现象的实际社会参照。经典的关注前进化,开明的公众舆论和启蒙运动的假设因果效应掩盖了作为分享差异和个人利益的过程的意见的人类学不变。这种“以情报为中心”的方法再现了这种分析中的精英主义意识形态,这种分析将程序普遍性限制在“真正”公民的伪公共领域,尽管它宣称,作为一个原则问题,所有公民都应该参与政府。在证明了这些过程中的隔离利害关系之后,文章表明,公众舆论的概念并没有被简化为一个规范的定义——无论是在理性讨论的培养意义上,还是在理性讨论的培养意义上。
