Rola kategorii równości w modelu społecznych relacji komunikacyjnych Jürgena Habermasa

Habermas’s model of social communicative relations creates the ground for his theory of legitimized political power with the category of equality as its key component. Category of equality guarantees citizens inclusion and access to communication circuit which constitutes the ground for public dialogue in sphere of communicative actions. Habermas brings out also a discursive concept of law-making as its substance also lies in category of equality. The institutionalization of the equality rule through the law ensures communicative reproduction of democratic mechanism. That is possible by dint of civil society active in public sphere and its communicative activities which invariably transfer to the law-making process meeting the current social needs.
