The family can be viewed as one of the links in a "golden chain"
connecting individuals, the private sphere, civil society, and the
democratic state; as potentially an important source of energy for
social activity; and as the primary institution that socializes and
diffuses the values and norms that are of fundamental importance
for civil society. Yet much of the literature on civil society pays
very little attention to the complex relations between civil
society and the family. These two spheres constitute a central
element in democratic development and culture and form a
counterweight to some of the most distressing aspects of modernity,
such as the excessive privatization of home life and the unceasing
work-and-spend routines. This volume offers historical perspectives
on the role of families and their members in the processes of a
liberal and democratic civil society, the question of boundaries
and intersections of the private and public domains, and the
interventions of state institutions.
