Abstract

The republican proposal regarding the role that citizenship must play in constructing and strengthening democracy through active participation in political scenarios raises this question: to what extent is it possible to achieve a responsible citizen, engaged in political life? The obligatory answer seems to point towards the education of a republican citizen as an effective method to deal with the problems democracy faces nowadays. However, this civic virtue suggests that the ideal citizen required by democracy is somehow a super-citizen. For this reason, understanding this type of citizen, one who struggles between their own private concerns and the demands of political life, on the basis of those obstacles encountered by Zarathustra in his attempt to teach the more-than-human nature, might shed light on the predicament of democratic states in trying to teach more-than-human features to a citizen.
