A Substantive View of Ethical Citizenship in Public Affairs

This article contends that a substantive view of citizenship implies in part an emphasis on an elenchic perspective, which fosters a healthy moral skepticism of any belief system or ideas that are often taken as a given. Moreover, this perspective tries to abate what many are claiming is nothing less than the diminution of any public space for ethical action or moral resistance to the prevailing social approbations of the modern polity and its institutions. Examples of this elenchic citizenship are examined, as well as its implication for public affairs.
