Civic virtues: rights, citizenship and republican liberalism

Dagger, r.

9780195106343 - Civic virtues: rights, citizenship and republican liberalism
Secondhand

Article description

Seemingly there is no political debate which doesn't devolve into an argument over rights. For centuries a cornerstone of liberal theory, rights claims have become so over-used as to blur cases of real abuse. In this original and provocative study, Dagger argues for a republican liberalism that, while celebrating the liberal heritage of autonomy and rights, solidly places these within social relations and obligations, which while ubiquitous, are often obscured and forgotten.
