The aim of this book is to give an account of this rationality, and its serious shortcomings, examining the role of the media and the confusing of public roles and personal identity. It focuses in particular on the role of the theatrical and comical in the historical development of the public sphere, and in this manner reformulating definitions of common sense, personal identity, and culture. 410 0$aRoutledge Studies in Social and Political Thought 606 $aTheater$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aTheater and society$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aComedy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 615 0$aTheater and society$xHistory. 615 0$aComedy. 676 $a792.094 700 $aSzakolczai$b Arpad.$0123643 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452261503321 996 $aComedy and the public sphere$92105423 997 $aUNINA
