This comprehensive book delves into the realm of political theory as a valuable framework for comprehending the emergence of political and religious extremism, particularly the Christian Nationalist stance. It offers insightful solutions to civic challenges and advocates for the indispensable role of public schools in imparting civic education that equips young individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary for active participation in democratic self-government.
The author, drawing upon scholarly discussions between liberal and republican political theorists, argues that to safeguard our democratic republic, policymakers and educators must wholeheartedly endorse a normative "vision of good citizenship" that nurtures in students the essential civic virtue and rational autonomy required to defend democracy against the encroachment of illiberal extremism.
This timely contribution to academic discussions on the significance of civic education in preserving democracy will resonate with scholars, educators, and policymakers who are deeply concerned with the future of civic education, as well as the philosophy of education, political science, and educational policy.
