-“The second step is ... an action of something within him.” (123-124) |

-of a constellation of interlocking duties and rights that together form an abstract level of popular sovereignty subsisting below - and making possible the spectrum of particularistic kinds of identity operating within a diverse society. In democratic societies, the capacity for mutual recognition and the generalization of norms must install itself as an attitude that can reflectively separate from the particular fabric of their own interest.” |
