About the Journal
The journal "Etica pubblica. Studi su legalità e partecipazione", promoted by the Department of Political Sciences of the University of Perugia starts from a main premise: legality cannot be reduced to a matter of repression. It is above all the result of shared ideas of the common good and general interest, precisely a shared public ethics, which can prevent deviant actions and behaviors that threaten and harm civil society. A public ethics based on the general interest presupposes at the same time an active involvement of citizens for the defense and development of these assumptions. It is an ethics that makes citizens feel a decisive and active part of the community itself.
The journal intends to become an interdisciplinary place for debate and for the promotion of these ideas.
