Ethos of a Late-Modern Citizen

In "Ethos of a Late-Modern Citizen," Stephen K. White, published by Harvard University Press in 2009, delves into the pressing challenges that Western democracies encounter today. With 150 pages of insightful analysis, White emphasizes the necessity of reevaluating the role of citizens in our rapidly changing world. He argues that while the last thirty years have been marked by a quest for universal principles of justice suitable for diverse societies, there is an equally important need to explore an ethos that can effectively support these principles. This thought-provoking work invites readers to reflect on the responsibilities and values that underpin citizenship in a late-modern context, making it a vital read for anyone interested in the future of democratic engagement.
