The concept of the public sphere has long been limited by its division into the twin approaches of normative argumentation in democratic theory and empirical-theoretical application in the social sciences. This book goes beyond this divide, showing how democratic theory can become empirically applicable and the social sciences normatively relevant.
Patrick O'Mahony is Senior Lecturer in Sociology in the School of Sociology, Philosophy, Criminology, Government and Politics at University College, Cork. His published work addresses interrelated theoretical, methodological, and empirical issues in public sphere research in the social sciences, as well as issues in philosophy, mass communication studies, cultural studies, political science, and political theory. On these foundations, he writes on social theory, nationalism, environmental politics, and science and technology. He is presently working on a theory of communicative reason and democracy within a cognitive sociological and wider interdisciplinary framework.
