Civic Solitude

Why Democracy Needs Distance
Book • 2024
In 'Civic Solitude: Why Democracy Needs Distance', Robert B. Talisse argues that democracy requires not only active participation but also reflective solitude.

He posits that citizens need to step back from partisan environments to engage in civic reflection, which is crucial for managing political polarization.

Talisse suggests that public spaces like libraries and museums can facilitate this reflective process by offering conceptual distance from contemporary political discourse.
