SİVİL TOPLUM VE SOSYAL BİLİNÇ

Abstract

Modern zamanların büyük söylemleri genellikle batı dünyasının demokrasi tanımına uygun bir sivil toplumun geli imini engelleyen en önemli faktörler olarak de erlendirilmektedir. Buna kar ın bu makale gerçek eksikli in sosyal bilinçsizli in do urdu u kurumsal bir sorun oldu unu ifade etmektedir. Bu önermenin en güzel kanıtı farklı ideolojik yönelimlerden gelen teorisyenlerin aynı sosyal bilinci aramı olmalarıdır. Nitekim, modern sonrası zamanlarda büyük söylemlerin geçerlili ini yitirmi olmaları daha sivil bir toplumu ortaya çıkaramamaktadır çünkü aynı yetersizlik sosyal bilincin kültürel anlayışının zayıflamasının sonucu olarak devamlılığını sürdürmektedir

CIVIL SOCIETY AND CIVIC CONSCIOUSNESS

Abstract

The meta-narratives of modern times are considered as the most significant factors impeding the development of the civil society' that coincided with the western definition of democracy. Nevertheless, this article suggests that the real problem was institutional inadequacy, which was produced by lack of civic consciousness. The best evidence for this argument is the search by theoreticians for a civic consciousness despite their different ideological orientations. Indeed, the demise of meta-narratives in post-modern times does not tend to lead to a more civil society because of the vicissitude of this extant institutional inadequacy, which appears to be created by the decline of cultural understanding of civic consciousness.
