The aim of this paper is to examines the crisis of democracy originated from the
extension of capitalism in global level and the permeation of capitalism into each
spheres of society, and to suggests the civic education approaches for dealing with
the crisis of democracy. The discussion results can be summarized as follows. In
nowadays, capitalism is eroding democracy at the three levels. First, in personality
level, capitalism is undermining the foundation of democracy by infusing people’s
mind with motive for endless profit, enjoyment, egoism, negative liberty, simple
equality, fragmented thinking, reification. Second, in the society-state level, spreading
logic of capital into each spheres of society, capitalism distorts the logics and justices
of spheres of society and make spheres of society to be supporter or partner of
capital. Third, in global level, working globally beyond the democratic control of
states, capitalism enforce each state to adopt logic of capital and diminish the public
sphere. The civic education approaches for struggling against these capitalism are as
follows. First, we need to teach student firmly the values of democracy-human
dignity, master spirit, liberty, equality, solidarity etc. Second, we need to teach each
logics & justices of spheres of society and integrative social scientific thinking so that
we could protect the logics & justices of spheres of society from the logic of capital
and see through the working of capital beyond spheres of society. Third, we need to
teach student about global consciousness and global system so that they could read
the global flows of capital. And we need to imagine how global democracy is possible
and discuss it with student.
