It is the idea that Reason and rationality permeate human societies and may lead human action towards emancipation, if aptly elaborated through the filter of theoretical reflection. Theory must pick up on this rational core and turn the intrinsic rational potential inherent to modern societies into a self-consciously pursued \u2018project of enlightenment\u2019. This introduction to the special issue \u2018Habermas, Democracy, and the Public Sphere: Theory and Practice\u2019 shows how Habermas\u2019s work in different scientific domains contributes to the construction of the \u2018project of modernity\u2019 from the many angles that such a complex project requires. The public sphere is, in Habermas\u2019s theory, the societal domain in which communicative interactions have a chance to make Reason come to bear on human societies and lead them on the path to social and political emancipation. The contributions to this special issue focus therefore on the public sphere and illustrate the evolution of the concept in Habermas\u2019s work and its relation to democracy at national and supranational level.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/13684310211038753","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,20]],"date-time":"2021-08-20T05:22:22Z","timestamp":1629436942000},"page":"437-447","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Habermas, democracy and the public sphere: Theory and practice"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6999-9532","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriele","family":"De Angelis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-13684310211038753","volume-title":"Habermas global","author":"Corchia L.","year":"2019"},{"key":"bibr2-13684310211038753","volume-title":"Verso una societ\u00e0 razionale","author":"De Angelis G.","year":"2012"},{"key":"bibr3-13684310211038753","volume-title":"Theory of communicative action.
