Hegemony and the paradox of public and private. Contribution to the critique of the Habermasian concept of public space

Abstract

In general, the public and the private were understood, in an essentialist way, as two separate areas of modern society. There are good reasons for this. Firstly, there is the separation between the place of residence and the place of work, which Weber considered one of the central characteristics of the Western process of rationalization.
