ABSTRACT

The article is to suggest an alternative form for public sphere demanded to establish democratic legitimacy. On the one hand, reciprocity or solidarity presented at Habermas’ discourse ethics is reasonable as an internal basis of public sphere. On the other hand, Habermas’ ideal speech situation dealt with at the level of discourse is unreasonable because Habermas’ discourse presupposed to be extra-ideological and homogeneous is considered as a consequence of excessive reformation for life-world. In this context, the article is to present directship - the exclusion of discourse - as a reasonable condition for public sphere. Besides, the article is to present the political community member’s experienced life as the element of public sphere based on reciprocity or solidarity.
