On the one hand, it is intended to defend the rhetorical tradition that permeates civic humanism in terms of its potential usefulness with a view to citizenship education. On the other hand, through an exercise of "rational reconstruction" (Richard Rorty) or "rewriting" (Stanley Fish), it is proposed to trace the role of civic solidarity in Leonardo Bruni's Laudatio Florentinae urbis in order to make an "appropriation" of its elements in the context of current debates in political philosophy. The metaphor of the "flourishing" of the political community, recurrent in civic humanism, always implies an exhortation to the practice of civic virtues by citizens, that is, a subordination of particular interests to the common good and, consequently, a base of solidarity in the civil body. To do this, we will start from the Rawlsian distinction between "classical republicanism" and "civic humanism" found in Political Liberalism (V, §7, 5). Rawls's dissociative reasoning will be problematized to argue that the role of citizen virtues, as properly human virtues, must be more important and more demanding than liberalism reserves for them if we want a truly flourishing society. El objetivo del presente artículo es doble. Por un lado, se pretende defender la tradición retórica que impregna el humanismo cívico en términos de su potencial utilidad con vistas a la educación para la ciudadanía. Por otro lado, mediante un ejercicio de “rational reconstruction” (Richard Rorty) o “rewriting” (Stanley Fish), se propone rastrear el papel de la solidaridad cívica en la Laudatio Florentinae urbis de Leonardo Bruni para realizar una “apropiación” de sus elementos en el contexto de los debates actuales en filosofía política. La metáfora del “florecimiento” de la comunidad política, recurrente en el humanismo cívico, implica siempre una exhortación a la práctica de las virtudes cívicas por parte de los ciudadanos, es decir, una subordinación de los intereses particulares al bien común y, en consecuencia, una base de solidaridad en el cuerpo civil. Para ello, se partirá de la distinción rawlsiana entre “republicanismo clásico” y “humanismo cívico” que se halla en El liberalismo político (V, §7, 5). El argumento por disociación de Rawls será problematizado para sostener que el papel de las virtudes ciudadanas, como virtudes propiamente humanas, debe ser más importante y más exigente que el que el liberalismo le reserva si queremos una sociedad verdaderamente floreciente.
