Civitas mensura – the citizen as the measure of all things. Emancipatory and empowering dimension of the civic humanism
Abstract
The consideration of emancipatory and empowering dimension
of civic humanism is the chief concern of the article. In the
first part there are recalled classical Protagorean sources of European
humanism with a special attention to its civic dimension.
In the second part I analyse points 3 and 4 of The Amsterdam Declaration
2002 dedicated to the democratic political system. In the
last part I propose and develop a thesis that co-participation of citizens
in exercising of all three powers in deliberative democratic
system – the legislative power (participation in the law-making
processes), the executive (participation in creation and realisation
of public policies) and the judicial (participation in the system of
exercising justice as lay judges) - constitutes the foundation of contemporary
humanism as civic activity.
