The relationship between civil society and public life is in the                  forefront of contemporary discussion. No single scholarly voice informs this                  discussion more than that of Jürgen Habermas. His contributions have shaped the                  nature of debates over critical theory, feminism, cultural studies, and democratic                  politics. In this book, scholars from a wide range of disciplines respond to                  Habermas's most directly relevant work, The Structural Transformation of the Public                  Sphere. From political theory to cultural criticism, from ethics to gender studies,                  from history to media studies, these essays challenge, refine, and extend our                  understanding of the social foundations and changing character of democracy and                  public discourse.Craig Calhoun is Professor of Sociology and History and Director of                  the Program of Social Theory and CrossCultural Studies at the University of North                  Carolina at Chapel Hill.Contributors: Hannah Arendt.
