Communicative Rationality and the Public Sphere: An Examination of Habermas' Views

The process of communicative rationality, which is essentially democracy, involves people coming together, having conversations, and deciding on the best course of action./nDemocracy is not limited to politics; it can be applied in various aspects of life, such as choosing political candidates, deciding on dinner plans, or allocating funds at a church./nThe process of communicative rationality has gradually become less common in modernity, leading to decreased participation in the public sphere, which Habermas views as one of the enlightenment's greatest achievements.
