Abstract (English):Citizenship education is a complex matter, not least when the place of civic virtues in it is considered. This is illustrated by a consideration of the civic virtue of gratitude. Two conceptions of gratitude are explored. Gratitude seen as a debt is examined and Kant's exposition of it, including his objections to a person's getting himself into the position where he has to show gratitude as a beneficiary, is explored. An alternative conception of gratitude as recognition is developed. This, it is claimed, has more relevance to the kind of gratitude it would be appropriate for citizens of a democratic state to feel and show. The educational implications of these views are briefly indicated. (DIPF/ orig.)
