What are practices of citizenship? And what can we learn from the past about these practices to better engage in city life in the twenty-first century? Ancient and Modern Practices of Citizenship in Asia and the West: Care of the Self is a collection of papers that examine these questions. The contributors come from a variety of different disciplines, including architecture, urbanism, philosophy, and history, and their essays make comparative examinations of the practices of citizenship from the ancient world to the present day in both the East and the West. The papers' comparative approaches, between East and West, and ancient and modern, leads to a greater understanding of the challenges facing citizens in the urbanized twenty-first century, and by looking at past examples, suggests ways of addressing them. While the book's point of departure is philosophical, its key aim is to examine how philosophy can be applied to everyday life for the betterment of citizens in cities not just in Asia and the West but everywhere. 588 0 PDF (JSTOR, viewed Jan. 14, 2019). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 East and West|vCongresses.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh2008102506 650 0 Manners and customs|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85080593|vCongresses.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001533 650 0 Citizenship|vCongresses.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2009119848 650 7 East and West.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/901090 650 7 Manners and customs|xCongresses.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1353622 650 7 Manners and customs.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1007815 650 7 Citizenship.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/861909 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1423772 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2lcgft|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026068 700 1 Bracken, Gregory,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n96116646|eeditor. 830 0 Asian cities (Amsterdam, Netherlands) ;|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2015051713|v9. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2031694|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
