Civic and Uncivic Values in Hungary: Values Transformation, Politics, and Religion
Fri, November 22, 3:30 to 5:15pm EST (3:30 to 5:15pm EST), Boston Marriott Copley Place, Floor: 5th Floor, MassachusettsSession Submission Type: Panel
Brief Description
In a classic work published in 1963, Gabriel Almond and Sidney Verba demonstrated why civic values are fundamental to stability, to domestic harmony, and to democratic life. Their volume was one of the most influential books in political science of all time. This panel, geared to producing a volume devoted to civic and uncivic values in Hungary, reflects our recognition of the continuing importance of civic values. The chief civic values are respect for the harm principle, tolerance, equality, reasonableness (as defined by John Rawls), civility, empathy, truthfulness, and engagement in the issues of the community in which one lives.
These civic values are reflected to one extent or another (or in worst cases, disrespected) in several spheres of public life, including politics, religious life, literature, film, and gender relations. This volume builds on our experience working on civic values over the two decades and will produce the latest in a series of volumes on civic values in Central and Southeastern Europe. Previous volumes have focused on Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia (now North Macedonia), Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, the post-Yugoslav region as a whole, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Volumes on Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Estonia & Latvia in combination are in the planning stage.
