I:  What is excellence? -- The making of a new meaning of excellence -- Exegeting excellence -- The core features of excellence -- New being : participation and imitation-- Justice, love, and hope -- Pt. II: Social-ethical framework -- A framework for social ethics -- Social practice as boundary of possibilities -- Excellence and economic development.
330   $aThis book is a bold attempt to reconceptualize excellence. It is no longer the virtue of doing something well or the mean of two extremes, but a clearing which allows humans to manifest their potentialities and creatively resist obstacles. The concept of excellence is emancipated from the excessive concern with order and good citizenry to become a libratory principle for interrogating all social institutions in the name of a better future.
