متن يادداشت

In this book, Stephen K. White contends that Western democracies face novel challenges demanding our reexamination of the role of citizens. White offers an incisive interpretation of our late-modern ethical-political condition and explains how a distinctive "ethos," or spirit, of citizenship might constitute part of an exemplary response. This ethos requires reworking basic figures of the modern political imagination, including our conception of the self, citizenship, and democratic politics. White argues that the intense focus in the past three decades on finding general principles of justice for diversity-rich societies needs to be complemented by an exploration of what sort of ethos would be needed to adequately sustain any such principles. He proposes that Western citizens adopt an ethos that is defined by such virtues as (moral) attentiveness, self-restraint, and existential gratitude.
