Opis

This book argues that the insulation of public life from the ethical standpoint puts in jeopardy the legitimacy and survival of our political communities.

Recenzje

'Thunder's account of the role of citizenship in a worthy life is a broadly attractive on, and he defends it quite able in his penultimate chapter against six important objections to his integrationist thesis. He writes, moreover, with clarity and grace.' Richard Dagger, The Review of Politics
