Jürgen Habermas is arguably the most influential social theorist and philosopher of the twentieth century, and his imprint on media and communication studies extends well into the twenty-first. This book lucidly unpacks Habermas sophisticated contributions to the study of media centring around the three core concepts for which his work is most known: the public sphere, communicative action, and deliberative democracy. This book offers an accessible introduction as well as a critical investigation of how Habermas thinking can help us to understand and assess our contemporary communication environment and where his framework needs revision and extension.
