Definición

  • Civic humanism is a political and philosophical orientation emphasizing the value and importance of the practical and moral virtues that may be inculcated in and passed along by citizens through their active participation in the political life of their polity. Its central aim is to defend and promote the qualities believed as necessary for communities to effectively, responsibly, and independently govern themselves; those qualities include the virtues of patience, tolerance, patriotism, self-sacrifice, duty, a commitment to the law, and forgiveness.
