Aristotle's Australia: Civic Republicanism from Federation to the Apology

这个项目旨在研究公民共和思想在澳大利亚的影响。它将被认为是公民共和主义代表了一个独特的理解自由，这些想法已经形成了国家意识。通过公民共和主义的棱镜，能更好地理解对白色澳大利亚的崇拜、征兵辩论、争取妇女和土著权利的运动吗？在重要的修正主义作品的基础上，该项目计划研究澳大利亚民主演变的关键时刻，并表明与自由主义和保守主义相对立的亚里士多德美德概念是一个关键的决定因素。该项目旨在扩大我们对澳大利亚历史和塑造我们民主的原则的理解。

This project seeks to examine the impact of civic republican ideas in Australia. It will be argued that civic republicanism represents a unique understanding of freedom and that these ideas have shaped the national consciousness. Can the cult of White Australia, the conscription debates, the campaigns for women’s and Indigenous rights be better understood through the prism of civic republicanism? Building on significant revisionist works, this project plans to examine key moments in Australia's democratic evolution and suggest that an Aristotelian concept of virtue, in opposition to both liberalism and conservatism, has been a crucial defining factor. This project aims to broaden our understanding of Australian history and the principles that shape our democracy.
