INDIVIDUALISM AND CIVIC PARTICIPATION – AN ESSAY ON A CERTAIN WAY OF THINKING ABOUT CITIZENSHIP
Journal Title: Political Preferences - Year 2013, Vol 2013, Issue 4
Abstract
Individualism, although inherently contrary to the spirit of collectivism, is the basis for the development of modern civic attitudes. For the most part, individualism determines the degree of interest in politics and the quality of democracy. Individualism is also the basis for the development of civil society, as the unique characteristics of each individual impact the civil society dynamics, quality and impact on those in power.
