Parkhomenko, R. N. Jurgen Habermas
about Modern Democracy
Abstract:
Jurgen Habermas’ theory of deliberative democracy has been the matter of philosophical discussions in the
West for a long time. The author of the present article compares Habermas’ theory to the liberal and republican forms
of government. According to Habermas, political public sphere of a developed democratic state should realize principles
of separation of a ruling government from economic society, freedom of speech and information exchange. All the three
elements including equal rights to liberty, democratic participation and take part in government by using public opinion
are “merged” into one project. However, they may have a different role and different order depending on political
traditions. Liberal tradition, for example, demonstrates preference towards freedoms of citizens while republican and
deliberative traditions emphasize participation of active citizens in democratic will expression or formation of more
rational public opinions. The author of the article describes certain weak points in the theory of democracy developed by
Habermas in his later works. In particular, the author criticizes his famous theory on communicative rationality.
Keywords:
Habermas, democracy, liberalism, republicanism, society, human, law, power, behavior, freedom.
