Does anyone know of an Internet site with quotations in English from the works of Jürgen Habermas? I'm currently translating an article on Habermas from German to English, and there are a number of quotes in German from Habermas' book "The Transformation of the Public Sphere". I'd rather have the "official" translations if possible than translate them myself!
Thanks in advance for any tips.

I have 2 quotes from the German translation of Habermas's book "The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere", and I wonder if anybody has the English translation and could let me know what the "official" English versions are?
The 2 German quotes are:

The 2 German quotes are:
"Das Räsonnement eines Lesepublikums weicht dem Geschmacksaustausch von Konsumenten. Der Resonanzboden einer zum öffentlichen Gebrauch des Verstandes erzogenen Bildungsschicht ist zersprungen; das Publikum in Minderheiten von nicht-öffentlich räsonierenden Spezialisten und in die große Masse von öffentlich rezepierended Konsumenten gespalten. Damit har es überhaupt die spezifische Kommunikationsform eines Publikums eingebüßt"(p. 261 of the German version)
and
"Im Maße der Verschränkung des öffentlichen mit dem privaten Bereich wird dieses Modell unanwendbar. Es entsteht nämlich eine repolitisierte Sozialsphäre, die sich weder soziologisch noch juristisch unter Kategorien des Öffentlichen oder des Privaten subsumieren lässt" (p. 268)

In a case like this, I would go to a library of a University and look the quotations up in the English edition of Habermas' book. Looking up things is always for free, and the people working there are usually very helpful.
Good luck!

In the end, this is what I did - and a German prozian also found a web site with the quotes as well. Thanks!
