摘要：The purpose of this article is to contribute to the understanding of enactments of citizenship through participation in a study circle in philosophy. Citizenship is viewed as comprising acting and being in-and-through the study circle. This links citizenship to social contexts, actions and education. The study was conducted as an ethnographic field study over eight months. In total nine people, men and women of different ages, gathered once a month. The participants shared an ambition to form an open group for all interested in philosophy. Here, the ideals of freedom and voluntary participation led to both inclusion and exclusion.
