註釋Well-rounded citizens should hold some view of the notion of the 'good' that transcends immediate personal pleasure and satisfaction. This is called civics - the appreciation of the duties, rights and privileges of the citizen. In the 1960s the long accepted notions of civics, ethics and social mores of Western society became subject to a radical critique as the post-Second World War generation began to come of age. This critique has never been fully answered. The resultant lack of moral certainty has been compounded by subsequent generations to the extent that there is now little consensus as to civics and societal ethics. This question is at the fundament of these essays. -- distributor website.
