Neo-Republicanism on Society - Dictionary of Arguments

Gaus I 175
Society/Neo-republicanism/Dagger: (...) civic virtue is necessary if self-government is to be sus-
tained.
NeorepublicanismVSLiberalism: But the neorepublicans also tend to believe that civic virtue is either in decline or in jeopardy, and they frequently place the blame on liberalism. As Sandel says, 'the civic or formative aspect of our LAmericanJ politics has largely given way to the liberalism that conceives persons as free and independent selves, unencumbered by moral or civic ties they have not chosen' (1996(1): 6).
>Liberalism
.
SandelVsRawls: This 'voluntarist' or 'procedural' liberalism, as found in the works of liberal philosophers such as Rawls and the decisions of liberal jurists, has fostered a society in which individuals fail to understand how much they owe to the community.
>J. Rawls, >Voluntarism.
