“Civic engagement” is the cornerstone of democracy, right? Everyone knows we need more civic engagement—everyone, that is, except Ben Berger, whose willingness to argue against convention, particularly when that convention is a key tenet of good governmentism, makes me reflexively sympathetic to his argument. Berger and I both attack foundational assumptions of conventional democratic thought, but we differ in our approaches. I base my arguments on economic theory and quantitative analysis, whereas he bases his arguments primarily on interpretations of canonical theorists, most importantly Hannah Arendt and Alexis de Tocqueville. Ultimately, I am convinced by Berger's argument that civic engagement is a messy concept that cannot be considered an “intrinsic good” for democracy, but like most formal theorists, I needed little convincing because the debate that he characterizes is remarkably similar to one that game theorists held some years ago, and resolved in the same direction. Ironically, then, he may face a more hostile audience from within his own subfield than outside of it.

Hannah Arendt e Hans Jonas conceberam uma ética que se denomina de “ética da responsabilidade”. A ética, em Arendt, visa à política, e em Jonas, o futuro. Arendt entende que cabe à política pensar e organizar o presente visando ao futuro. Em Jonas, a ética relaciona-se com a política, mas ele não centraliza sua discussão nela. Assim, pode-se questionar se as duas éticas apregoam um mesmo conteúdo, ou se divergem, e, em ambos os casos, em quais conteúdos e momentos. E ainda, o que Arendt e Jonas agregam de novo ao pensamento ético, e em especial, o que cada um aporta de específico que torna suas concepções tanto atuais quanto relevantes.
