Aspects of the political theories of Rawls and Habermas are discussed and contrasted with contestation-oriented theories. In light of how the Internet takes part in structurally transforming the public sphere, the book draws on sociological and realist insights in order to encircle a more realist view. It briefly reconsiders such strange bedfellows as sociological systems theory (Niklas Luhmann) and political realism (eg. Bernard Williams). The purpose is not to construct a realist theory of the internet-based public sphere, but to point out central insights on which such a theory can be built.Internet Soapbox InternetPolitical aspectsInternetPolitical aspects.302.231Terje Rasmussenauth1278169NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910268950103321The Internet Soapbox3012751UNINA
