商品描述

This collection of essays offers thoughtful discussions of major challenges confronting the theory and practice of citizenship in a globalized, socially fragmented, and multicultural world. The traditional concept of citizenship as a shared ethnic, religious, and/or cultural identity has limited relevance in a multicultural world, and even the connection between citizenship and national belonging has been put in jeopardy by increasing levels of international migration and mobility, not to mention the pervasive influence of a global economy and mass media, whose symbols and values cut across national boundaries. Issues addressed include the ethical and practical value of patriotism in a globalized world, the standing of conscience claims in a morally diverse society, the problem of citizen complicity in national and global injustice, and the prospects for a principled acceptance by practising Muslims of a liberal constitutional order. In spite of the impressive diversity of philosophical traditions represented in this collection, including liberalism, pragmatism, Confucianism, Platonism, Thomism, and Islam, all of the volume's contributors would agree that the crisis of modern citizenship is a crisis of the ethical values that give shape, form, and meaning to modern social life. This is one of the few edited volumes of its kind to combine penetrating ethical discussion with an impressive breadth of philosophical traditions and approaches.

這本隨筆集提供了對於在全球化、社會碎片化和多元文化世界中，公民身份理論與實踐所面臨的主要挑戰的深思熟慮的討論。傳統的公民身份概念作為共享的民族、宗教和/或文化身份，在多元文化的世界中已經有限的相關性，甚至公民身份與國家歸屬之間的聯繫也因國際移民和流動性增加而受到威脅，更不用說全球經濟和大眾媒體的普遍影響，其符號和價值觀跨越國界。所探討的議題包括在全球化世界中愛國主義的倫理和實踐價值、在道德多元社會中良心主張的地位、公民在國家和全球不公中的共謀問題，以及實踐穆斯林對自由憲政秩序的原則性接受的前景。儘管這本隨筆集中代表了包括自由主義、實用主義、儒學、柏拉圖主義、托馬斯主義和伊斯蘭教等多種哲學傳統的驚人多樣性，但所有貢獻者都同意，現代公民身份的危機是塑造、形成和賦予現代社會生活意義的倫理價值的危機。這是少數幾本將深刻的倫理討論與廣泛的哲學傳統和方法相結合的編輯卷之一。

作者簡介

Dr David Thunder is a Research Fellow at the University of Navarra's Institute for Culture and Society (Religion and Civil Society Project). Prior to this appointment, he held several research and teaching positions in the United States, including visiting assistant professor at Bucknell and Villanova and Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Princeton University's James Madison Program. Dr Thunder earned his BA and MA in philosophy at University College Dublin, and his Ph.D. in political science at the University of Notre Dame. His research, which primarily engages the work of twentieth and twenty-first century political and moral philosophers, seeks to recover a more holistic and person-centered vision of human action and life in community with others, in the face of attempts by modern thinkers to isolate legal, economic, and political activity from broader concerns and values that affect the human person as such. Specific issues he has taken up in his writings include integrity and corruption in public life, our responsibilities toward the distant needy, the philosophical justification of human rights, and the challenge of building sustainable communities in individualistic cultures. In Citizenship and the Pursuit of the Worthy Life (Cambridge University Press, 2014), he makes the case that the modern separation between ethics and political morality is a dangerous error, and that democratic societies would be much better served by a more ethically integrated form of citizenship. Dr Thunder's work has appeared in venues such as the American Journal of Political Science,

德維德·桑德博士是納瓦拉大學文化與社會研究所（宗教與公民社會計畫）的研究員。在此之前，他在美國擔任過多個研究和教學職位，包括巴克內爾大學和維拉諾瓦大學的訪問助理教授，以及普林斯頓大學詹姆斯·麥迪遜計畫的博士後研究員。桑德博士在都柏林大學學院獲得哲學學士和碩士學位，並在聖母大學獲得政治學博士學位。他的研究主要涉及二十世紀和二十一世紀的政治與道德哲學家的作品，旨在恢復一種更全面且以人為中心的行動與社群生活的視野，面對現代思想家試圖將法律、經濟和政治活動與影響人類本身的更廣泛關懷和價值隔離的挑戰。他在著作中探討的具體議題包括公共生活中的誠信與腐敗、我們對遙遠貧困者的責任、人權的哲學正當性，以及在個人主義文化中建立可持續社區的挑戰。在《公民身份與追求有價值的生活》（劍橋大學出版社，2014年）一書中，他主張現代倫理與政治道德的分離是一個危險的錯誤，民主社會若能採用更具倫理整合性的公民身份將會更好地服務於社會。桑德博士的研究成果曾發表於《美國政治科學期刊》等刊物。
