| Summary |
"The thousands of citizens who found it potentially useful to discuss issues openly and thoughtfully were "citizens" in a classical sense: members of a community that was civic in that it was defines not merely by its history but by its continuing history, which the community's members themselves would make, through their thoughts, their works, and their actions, collectively. "Communitites" are the product and the instruments of learning; their deliberations represent a learning culture."--Back cover |
