Civic Republicanism

‘A timely and genuine contribution to the discussion of republi-

canism ... distinctive.’

Richard Dagger, Arizona State University

‘Combining a lucid and accessible style with considerable sophis-

tication of thought, Civic Republicanism will be both helpful to

students and stimulating to scholars.’

John Horton, University of Keele

Civic republicanism has emerged as a leading alternative to liber-

alism in dealing with the political challenges presented by the

diversity and increasing interdependence of contemporary societies.

It recognises that realising freedom requires strong political struc-

tures supported by active, public-spirited citizens.

Iseult Honohan here presents a critical interpretation of its

central themes – civic virtue, freedom, participation and recognition

– and of the different ways in which these have been understood

and combined in different strands of civic republicanism.

In Part I she traces its development from classical antecedents

such as Aristotle and Cicero to its flowering with Machiavelli and

Harrington, and to the diverse responses to modernity advanced by

Rousseau, Wollstonecraft and Madison. She highlights the roots of

the contemporary revival in the work of Hannah Arendt and

Charles Taylor.

In Part II Honohan engages with current debates surrounding

civic republicanism as an attractive way forward in a world of

cultural diversity, global interdependence, inequality and environ-

mental risk. What is the nature of the common good? What does it

mean to put public before private interests? What does political

freedom mean, and what are the implications for the political insti-

tutions and practices of a republic?

Civic Republicanism is an ideal text for students of politics and

philosophy, and also valuable for those studying this important

topic in related disciplines such as history and law.

Iseult Honohan teaches Political Theory in the Department of

Politics, University College Dublin.
