What does citizenship have to do with living a worthy human life?
Political scientists and philosophers who study the practice of
citizenship, including Rawlsian liberals and Niebuhrian realists,
have tended to either relegate this question to the private realm
or insist that ethical principles must be silenced or seriously
compromised in our deliberations as citizens. This book argues that
the insulation of public life from the ethical standpoint puts in
jeopardy not only our integrity as persons but also the legitimacy
and long-term survival of our political communities. In response to
this predicament, David Thunder aims to rehabilitate the ethical
standpoint in political philosophy, by defending the legitimacy and
importance of giving full play to our deepest ethical commitments
in our civic roles and developing a set of guidelines for citizens
who wish to enact their civic roles with integrity.
