Book Description
Patricia White is concerned not with the machinery of democracy but with some of the virtues: hope, courage, self-respect, self-esteem, honesty, trust, friendship, decency, that individual citizens in a flourishing democracy need. Drawing on classical and contemporary philosophical literature, this new approach to citizenship education explores the democratic forms of these virtues, using a wide range of literary and real-life examples that are presented in all their complexity, including their downsides. In this way it illuminates the ways in which these virtues might be fostered in a democratic society by whole school policies and by individual teachers. In this book these virtues receive detailed treatment in contemporary work in philosophy of education for the first time.
