Althusius Institute, Lituanie, Aarhus University, Danemark). Nous avons le plaisir de recevoir : *Vendredi 15 février 2019 de18h30 à 20h30* *Asger Sørensen, associate professor, University of Aarhus, School of Education, Danemark* « *Bildung* as Democratic Opinion and Will Formation. Habermas beyond Habermas » Considering citizenship education specifically in relation to deliberative politics, first, I focus on the role that Habermas in *Between Facts and Norms* allots to opinion and will formation as a kind of *Bildung*, emphasizing the collective aspect of discursive formation in the state as well as in civil society. Secondly, even though I have stressed the crucial role of deliberation in the formation to virtue, I recognize that Habermas attempts to combine the republican call for civic virtue with the liberal claims to have rights. Thirdly, I emphasize that also for Habermas *Bildung* in some sense constitutes the truth of human being, although it is not specified in detail. Fourthly, I argue that democratic citizenship education would benefit from a substantial notion of *Bildung*, but that Habermas does not support such an argument. Recognizing that Habermas’s idea of collective formation is restricted to providing justice in terms of politics and law, and bearing in mind the alienation in fact produced within the multitudes of modern capitalist and militarist society, I conclude by expressing the fear that Habermas’s account of democratic formation will not be sufficiently attractive to contemporary democratic citizens and thus unable to function as a normative ideal. *Asger Sørensen* (b. 1960) is Associate Professor in Philosophy of Education at Aarhus University, Denmark, holding the degrees *mag.art.* (1992) and *Ph.D.* (1999) in Philosophy from University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
