As early as 425 BC, the playwright Aristophanes ridiculed his fellow Athenians for gossiping in the market instead of voting. In more recent decades, calls for greater civic engagement as a democratic cure-all have met with widespread agreement. But how realistic--or helpful--is it to expect citizens to devote more attention and energy to politics? In Attention Deficit Democracy, Ben Berger provides a surprising new perspective on the problem of civic engagement, challenging idealists who aspire to revolutionize democracies and their citizens, but also taking issue with cynics who think that citizens cannot--and need not--do better. "Civic engagement" has become an unwieldy and confusing catchall, Berger argues. We should talk instead of political, social, and moral engagement, figuring out which kinds of engagement make democracy work better, and how we might promote them. Focusing on political engagement and taking Alexis de Tocqueville and Hannah Arendt as his guides, Berger identifies ways to achieve the political engagement we want and need without resorting to coercive measures such as compulsory national service or mandatory voting. By providing a realistic account of the value of political engagement and practical strategies for improving it, while avoiding proposals we can never hope to achieve, Attention Deficit Democracy makes a persuasive case for a public philosophy that much of the public can actually endorse. 606 $aPolitical participation$zUnited States 606 $aDemocracy 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aAlexis de Tocqueville. 610 $aHannah Arendt. 610 $aattention deficit. 610 $aattention. 610 $acivic engagement. 610 $acivil associations. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $aenergy. 610 $ainstrumental good. 610 $ainstrumental value. 610 $aintrinsic good. 610 $aintrinsic value. 610 $ainvisibility. 610 $aisolation. 610 $aliberal democracy. 610 $amaterialism. 610 $amoral engagement. 610 $aparticipatory democracy. 610 $apolitical apathy. 610 $apolitical associations. 610 $apolitical education. 610 $apolitical engagement. 610 $apolitical governance. 610 $apolitical institutions. 610 $apolitical mobilization. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apublic freedom. 610 $apublic philosophy. 610 $aself-interest. 610 $asocial engagement. 610 $atotalitarianism. 610 $atownship administration. 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aDemocracy. 676 $a323/.0420973 700 $aBerger$b Ben$f1968-$01050487 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456512103321 996 $aAttention deficit democracy$92480295 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01336nam a22002651i 4500 001 991001829909707536 008 060901s19590000be 00 fre d 035 $ab1343360x-39ule_inst 040 $aDip.to Filologia Class. e Scienze Filosofiche$bita 041 $afre$grc 100 1 $aPalamas, Gregorius$d<1297-1359>$0624184 245 10$aDéfense des saints hésychastes / Gregoire Palamas ; introduction texte critique, traduction et notes Jean Meyendorff 260 $aLouvain :$b'Spicilegium sacrum lovaniense", Administration,$c1959. 300 $a2 v. ;$c25 cm 440 0$aSpicilegium sacrum Lovaniense.$pEtudes et documents ;$v30, 31 500 $aIn testa al front.: Université catholique et collèges théologiques O.
