| Sumario: | The aim of this paper is to evaluate whether, in our pluralistic and individualistic societies, based on the normative language of rights and principles, there is a valuable and possible place for a re-actualization of the tradition of virtues. Our answer is positive, but it is conditional. Such a re-actualization must provide an answer to two well-founded criticisms that have been made of previous reenactments of this tradition: their risk of obtunding the transformative capacity of customs and traditions and their original dependence on a hierarchical ethos. Here, we will show that the creation and maintenance of a democratic society, which makes relational equality a fundamental value, requires a set of basic civic virtues and that these can be justified by reinforcing the critical potential of the virtues with respect to their formative context. |
