Abstract :This article deals with three different schools of thought in terms of the constitution of self and the public sphere in modern times. The first trend (e.g. Durkheim and Parsons) advocates that the self or individuality finds the best environment for its maximal realization within a rational-universal sphere that is the modern publicity. The second trend, “Marxian- Nietzschean radical-critical trend”, claims that individuality is oppressed by the modern public sphere and its socio-economic political environment. On the other hand, the third trend (e.g. Simmel and Habermas) insists that along with its disadvantages the modern socio-economic system brings its own advantages for the autonomy of self and individuality.
Keywords : Autonomy of Self, Modern Public Sphere, Parsons, Marx, Habermas, Communicative Action, Constitutional Democracy.
