哈贝马斯“公共领域”理论的致思理路及其当代价值

The Trend of Thoughts of Habermas' Public Sphere Theory and Its Contemporary Value

"公共领域"概念是哈贝马斯现代性哲学批判的基石,《公共领域的结构转型》一书集中展示了这一西方社会的理论命题的发展理路,同时对汉语学界公共领域研究产生了深远影响。以此为基点,阐释哈贝马斯的公共领域理论体系与中国社会语境的契合之处,剖析在互联网传播语境下中国公共领域构建的成功案例,有助于发掘该理论的历史效用和当代价值,更进一步探索其与中国社会之间的良性互动关系。

The concept of ＂public sphere＂ is the cornerstone of Habermas＇s critique on modem philosophy. His book The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere shows the development of the theoretical proposition of the Western society; meanwhile it exerts far-reaching impact on the researches of public sphere in Chinese academic circles. Based on this, this paper tries to explain the coincidence between Habermas＇ public sphere theoretical system and Chinese social context, then it analyzes the successful cases of Chinese public sphere construction in the context of Internet communication, which can help to explore the historical utility of the theory and the contemporary values, so as to further explore its benign interaction with Chinese society.
