Abstract

It is often suggested that people who practice civil disobedience are role-models of moral courage. But is it always the case? What kind of moral courage underpins the acts of law-breaking in the name of ethical and moral principles? These questions lead to an analysis of the definition of civil disobedience and its social functions. The article takes up this task in order to argue for a special role of civil disobedience and specific forms of moral courage in the formation of democracy.
