In search of a strong European public sphere: Some critical observations on conceptualizations of publicness and the (European) public sphere

Article Abstract:

The most basic features of the media-centered operationalization of European public sphere are explained through Kant's 'transcendental principle of publicity.' It is shown that the idea of a personal public use of reason or right to communicate is an idea of terminating the divide, which indeed would enable citizens to become equal in access to public communication and thus help to create a cosmopolitan public sphere.
