Public Sphere

Habermas, the philosopher of the moment

Writing today. Excruciating as it gets this close to presentation time.

Reading a bit too. Finally with the Habermas:
They already sprang from the needs of a bourgeois reading public that later on would find genuine satisfaction in the literary forms of the domestic drama and the psychological novel. For the experiences about which a public passionately concerned with itself sought agreement and enlightenment through the rational-critical public debate of private persons with one another flowed from the wellspring of a specific subjectivity.


Tomorrow: revise, supplement. Begin reading essay on Yang Jiang's aunt.
