Foundations of Civic Engagement is a comprehensive survey and reassessment of the entire
field of social and political philosophy. Suitable for use as a primary text for courses on
political thought, this book explores the basic arguments of the most important histori¬
cal and contemporary figures and offers a thematic critique and integration of these
philosophies. This dynamic book includes in-depth discussions of Ancient Greek, modern
and contemporary theories of communitarianism, social contract, feminism, classical lib¬
eral rights-based approaches, African-American philosophy, postmodernism, Marxism,
critical theory, and theories of communicative actions (e.g.
Habermas).
Throughout philo¬
sophical history, there is a tension between social development of the political person
—
as in
personalist,
communitarian, feminist, postmodern, and Continental thought
—
and the
abstract contractual principles needed for impartial justice and freedom of conscience.
This chasm can be bridged to some extent by combining ideal contractualism with the
tools of feminist theory, discourse ethics, and critical theory. Foundations of Civic
Engagement evaluates these tensions, as well as the criticisms and responses to criticism
for each theory, in order to promote open dialogue, analysis, and a realistic assessment
of each philosophy.
Ralph D. Ellis is a Full Professor at Clark-Atlanta University. He holds an M.S. in Public
and Urban Affairs from Georgia State University, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Philosophy from
Duquesne University. Dr. Ellis is an accomplished author with dozens of published arti¬
cles and more than ten published books, including Coherence and Verification in Ethics also
from the University Press of America and Just Results from Georgetown University Press.
Norman Fischer is Assistant Professor in the Department of Religion and Philosophy
at Clark-Atlanta University. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in Philosophy from Emory
University and has published on both ancient and modern philosophy.

Sauer
is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Theology at St. Mary s University.
He holds an M.A. and Ph.D. in Ethics from Saint Paul University. He is editor of Philosophy in
the Contemporary World and author of numerous books and articles on philosophy.
