will be to the collective benefit<br />
of society or of the inhabitants<br />
of a particular place. Both politicians<br />

Public sphere: The sociologist<br />
Jürgen Habermas’ concept of<br />
the place where people talk<br />
about life. It is a sphere which<br />
“mediates between society and<br />
state, and in which the public<br />
organizes itself as the bearer<br />
of public opinion” (Habermas,<br />
1962). He sees its growth in<br />
eighteenth-century England<br />
with the development of a new<br />
urban culture which flourished<br />
in, among other places, the<br />
coffee houses.<br />
