| Description: |
A brilliant, ambitious rethinking of the nature of political community and the challenges to modern citizenship by one of Canada's foremost political scientists. |
| Synopsis: |
Liberals believe that the purpose of politics is to guarantee thatindividuals do not face unfair impediments in pursuing the lives theychoose for themselves. Nationalists believe that the purpose ofpolitics is to ensure that a people's sense of authenticnationhood wins full expression in powers of collective sovereignty orself-rule. Both of these forms of political commitment yieldworld-transforming political philosophies, but do either of thesevisions do adequate justice to a philosophically robust ideal of sharedcitizenship and civic membership?In Liberalism, Nationalism, Citizenship, Ronald Beinerengages critically with a wide range of important political thinkersand current debates in light of the Aristotelian idea that sharedcitizenship is an essential human calling. Virtually every aspect ofcontemporary political experience -- globalization, internationalmigration, secessionist movements, the politics of multiculturalism --pose urgent challenges to modern citizenship. Beiner's work onthe philosophy of citizenship is essential reading not just forstudents of politics and political philosophy, but for all those whorightly sense that these kinds of recent challenges demand an ambitiousrethinking of the nature of political community. |
