Socratic Citizenship

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the concept of citizenship, Dana Villa critiques the contemporary emphasis on mere community involvement and political participation. He advocates for a Socratic approach to citizenship that values critical thinking and a degree of alienation as essential for genuine engagement. By promoting a form of citizenship that encourages thoughtful dissent, Villa challenges the prevailing notions of civic virtue and calls for a deeper understanding of what it means to participate in a democratic society.
