Erziehung zur Loyalität

More about the book

Loyalty to the community is increasingly lacking, prompting an exploration of the significance of altruism and commitment to the state. After introductory definitions, a chapter addresses the legitimacy of the state's demand for loyalty. The evolving relationship between the individual and the state, influenced by individualization trends, is examined from phenomenological, historical, and public perspectives. Key themes include conflicts of loyalty and the right to civil disobedience. Subsequent chapters tackle identity issues in complex societies and the role of loyalty in political education. Here, loyalty serves as a crucial link between republican and liberal-communitarian viewpoints, highlighting its importance for co-education and civic education. The final chapter focuses on fostering loyalty in civic societies. The volume concludes with a summary, bibliography, and an appendix featuring illustrative diagrams and formulae.
