Description
Summary:Jürgen Habermas' The Theory of Commnicative Action is a precious theoretical tool to analise the order of events in the contemporary world. His ambicious analytical propositions come accompanied by a model of radical democracy that contemplates the constitution of the political public sphere upon new bases, dynamized by new mechanisms and oriented to different ends. The aim of this article is to discuss how this Habermasian model, enlarged by Andrew Atato and Jean Cohen's contributions on the theory of civil society, can be applied to the study of new social moviments envolved in the construction of such a model of radical democracy.
