ABSTRACT
The future place of democracies in human civilization will not just happen; it will be constructed and will require attentive care. Those concerned with the constitution of democratic societies are required to give critical attention to the development of a science of citizenship and civic enlightenment. That science should not be confined to the education of students in schools. It should be a science of association that is studied and applied by all as we assume responsibility for living our lives and learning how to work with others under variable and changing conditions that reach out to global proportions.
