Finding the Passion of Citizens:The Rational Consequences and Emotional Turn of Public Participation
The enthusiasm of public participation reflects the progress of society.However,members of society only intervene in public affairs with individual rational thinking,and public participation may not achieve ideal results,and may even produce a series of negative effects.The rational consequences of public participation mainly include aphasia and disorder in prior participation,formalization and destructiveness in in-process participation,and negativity and short-term nature in post participation.As a moral emotion that emphasizes"citizenship",the passion of citizens can effectively stimulate the enthusiasm of public participa-tion,maintain the basic order of public participation,and play an important role in transcending the conse-quences of individual rationality and elevating individual rationality.To activate the passion of citizens in pub-lic participation,it is necessary to create relevant conditions in three aspects,including structural conditions,situational conditions,and cognitive conditions.
