The article is focused on Habermas's less known understanding of public sphere that was developed in the nineties, elaborating on different aspects of his reinterpretation of his better known understanding of public sphere from the sixties. In the first part of the article basic elements of Habermas's theory of discursive ethics are presented that served him for categorization of discourses in political public sphere, in the second part corrections of his early notion of liberal public sphere are disclosed in the light of his later day association of liberal and republican principles, and in the final part his placement of public sphere in the framework of his two track model of democracy is depicted.
