In 'Public Exemplarity', Javier Gomá Lanzón, National Essay Prize 2004, presents exemplarity as an essential principle for the organization of modern democracy. This book proposes a political philosophy adapted to the current democratic era, where society, after nihilism, has renounced traditional methods of socialization without effectively replacing them. Gomá proposes public, egalitarian, and secularized exemplarity as the axis of democracy, arguing that in a post-nihilistic context, only the virtuous example can foster true citizen emancipation. This title is part of the tetralogy of exemplarity, along with 'Imitation and Experience', 'Achilles in the Gynaeceum', and 'Necessary but Impossible'.
Javier Gomá Lanzón is a Spanish philosopher, writer and essayist, author of the Tetralogía de la ejemplaridad and a theatrical trilogy. He is also the Executive Director of the Juan March Foundation and, since 2024, Director of the Chair of Exemplarity | CUNEF Universidad.
