    Habermas, democracy and civil society: Unearthing the social in transformation theory


    Fleming, Ted (2000) Habermas, democracy and civil society: Unearthing the social in transformation theory. In: UNSPECIFIED.

    Abstract

    The debate as to whether transformative learning theory takes adequate account of the social has contributed to the clarification and development of the theory. But this debate has been, to a great extent, framed within transformation theory. This paper outlines some key ideas from Jürgen Habermas - civil society, public sphere, democracy and discourse - that are crucial to unearthing the social in transformation theory.
