Este artigo visa elucidar o problema-chave inscrito no contexto da publicidade burguesa: a subversão do princípio da publicidade (Öffentlichkeit). Este é analisado sob o ponto de vista histórico na obra Mudança Estrutural da Esfera Pública, e está inserido no contexto onde se desenvolve a noção de esfera pública: a instância em que se forma a opinião pública (salões, livros, jornais). Opinião esta que tinha no início funções críticas com relação ao poder e que mais tarde foi refuncionalizada para canalizar o assentimento dos governados. Para tal, cabe esclarecer como Habermas aborda as funções críticas e manipulativas da publicidade. Nesse sentido, o objetivo é esclarecer e identificar o que vem a ser o princípio de publicidade e porque o mesmo é subvertido. O texto é dividido em três partes: a relação da esfera pública literária com a esfera pública política (1); a publicidade como princípio de mediação entre a política e a moral (2); e, por fim, a subversão do princípio da publicidade (3).

The Public Sphere

As formulated by Jürgen Habermas, the public sphere is a realm of communication that mediates between the actual discourse of private individuals and, largely through print, virtual public communication. The idea of the public sphere has attracted an extraordinary amount of attention from scholars of early modern and eighteenth-century studies, many of whom silently endorse it by incorporating the term into their description of public commentary and debate. Others affirm or challenge the existence of a public sphere by reference to the conditions that are said to engender it, the degree of its inclusivity, or the timing of its emergence. If these might be called questions about the external constitution of the public sphere, the present chapter asks if we can discover ‘internal’ evidence of its existence: an emergent awareness that there is something about the virtuality of printed discourse that both sophisticates and complicates what it means to communicate with others. The chapter’s argument is that in adapting Buckingham’s farce (The Rehearsal, acted 1671) to his own polemic against Samuel Parker (The Rehearsal Transpros’d, 1672, 1673), Marvell finds in his self-conscious concern with the verbal techniques of figuration, accommodation, and parody a model for the hypothesis of a public sphere.

The Public Sphere

According to Jurgen Habermas, since the end of the 19th century the government had been increasingly interfering in the public sphere, depriving it of the opportunity to form an independent opinion and eroding its borders. With the erosion of public sphere contours, the involvement of people in solving social problems was weakened, and moral principles were replaced by the principles of economic feasibility or scientific provability. Withal, the break with tradition, the diminishing role of religion, the crisis of values, individualism and multiculturalism, which all are typical of modern society, have led us to the need to create the shared vision of the new society development. Thus, there are more reasons for the re-opening of the public sphere. The article considers the concept of Jurgen Habermas, in which discourse ethic is offered as a way to rehabilitate the public sphere. In discourse ethic, people are not burdened with government or other influence, and discuss socially important issues from equal positions and impartial perspectives, following the principles of moral reasoning. A number of critical remarks on Habermas’ concept is formulated. Critics are interested in questions about motivating people to take part in discourse ethic and behave morally, in question about the discourse ethic location, about the making decisions procedure and the strength of these decisions. A critical analysis of Habermas’ concept leads to the conclusion that the one is idealistic. The article presents two other concepts as alternatives to the discourse ethic concept. Apostolis Papakostas, the author of the first one, allows the government to participate in the public sphere formation. Ronald Inglehart and Christian Welzel, the authors of the other one, consider social and economic development to be the driving force in the public sphere modernization. However, on closer examination, both concepts are also not able to give an exhaustive answer to the question of how to ensure the public sphere rehabilitation.

The Public Sphere

Concepts of ‘public reason’ vary according to the underlying understandings of theoretical and practical reason; they make a difference to what can be argued for in the public sphere as justified expectations to oneself and fellow-citizens. What is the significance for the scope of ethics when two neo-Kantian theorists of public reason, John Rawls and Jürgen Habermas, propose a reduced reading of the ‘antinomy’ highlighted in Kant’s analysis of practical reason? The desire for meaning, unrelinquishable for humans, is frustrated when moral initiatives are met with hostility. Kant resolves the antinomy between morality and happiness by invoking the concept of a creator God whose concern that our anticipatory moral actions should not fail encourages the hope on which human agency relies. Defining the scope of ethics by the unconditional character of reason ( Vernunft) rules out the minimisation of ethics to what can safely be expected to be delivered.
