No. 14 (2022): 60th Anniversary of the Strukturwandel der Öffentlichkeit

2022 marks the 60th anniversary of the publication of Strukturwandel der Öffentlichkeit (1962), a seminal work in 20th-century social sciences which even today is still the subject of intense reflection. Authored by Jürgen Habermas, it has greatly influenced his extensive work, as the author himself stated in the famous preface to the 17th German edition of the book (1990), recognising that his theory was developed “less according to its fundamental features than to its degree of complexity”.
