The normative assumptions and likely practical consequences of Jürgen Habermas 's communicative ethics and related conception of the public sphere have been the topic of much critical discussion. After reviewing some of the general features of Habermas's moral theory, I take up criticisms directed at his conception of the self or moral agency, his assumptions about the generalizability of human interests, and the supposed utopianism of his theory. In each case I argue that more charitable and attractive readings of his position are possible and desirable. I conclude with some general remarks about the potential role of mass communication media within his normative account of the public sphere
