Hegel wanted to use this idea as a tool for extending the scope of citizenship from the private to the public sphere essay, he wants to politicize citizens through what he calls publicity or what he termed publizitat. He wanted to do this because he said the simple tinkering of political institutions was unsatisfactory state that he found in liberal teaching. What hegel means is the dissemination and public discussion of information relative to the public good. (e"s not arguing on behalf of franchise. In other words, he argues that we have to do more in terms of educating the public and discussing public issues.
