Yet the move toward ethics has obscured the ongoing value of political responsibility and the vibrant life it represents as an effective response to power. Sounding the alarm for those who care about robust forms of civic engagement, this book fights for a new conception of political responsibility that meets the challenges of today's democratic practice. Antonio Y. Vázquez-Arroyo forcefully argues against the notion that modern predicaments of power can only be addressed ethically or philosophically through pristine concepts that operate outside of the political realm. By returning to the political, the individual is reintroduced to the binding principles of participatory democracy and the burdens of acting and thinking as a member of a collective. Vázquez-Arroyo historicizes the ethical turn to better understand its ascendence and reworks Adorno's dialectic of responsibility to reassert the political in contemporary thought and theory. 410 0$aNew directions in critical theory. 606 $aPolitical ethics 606 $aGovernmental accountability 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aPolitical ethics. 615 0$aGovernmental accountability. 615 0$aPower (Social sciences)$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a172 700 $aVa?zquez Arroyo$b Antonio Y.$f1976-$01683556 702 $aKushnirsky$b Julia 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815389103321 996 $aPolitical responsibility$94054389 997 $aUNINA
