Description
This is Jurgen Habermas's most concrete historical-sociological book and
one of the key contributions to political thought in the postwar period. It will be
a revelation to those who have known Habermas only through his theoretical writing
to find his later interests in problems of legitimation and communication
foreshadowed in this lucid study of the origins, nature, and evolution of public
opinion in democratic societies.
