The institution of the modern state, based on the liberal doctrine of social contract, has been questioned in the age of globalization by the formation of paradigmatic transformations of political thought from different think tanks. This kind of criticism of liberal discourse encompasses a range of critical thinkers such as Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida Giorgo Agamben, Jacques Rancière and others. But the critique of the state by contemporary thinkers is not confined to this category of thinkers, but communitarianism, with its thinkers such as Al-Sadir McIntyre, can be regarded as one of these critical schools of thought in the paradigm of contemporary political philosophy with a critical look at the most important liberal propositions of modern times such as individualism, state neutrality, universality of this kind of thinking and an emphasis on concepts such as communitarianism, virtue, state moral interventionism, and contextualization. The focus of this article will be to examine McIntyre's critical attitude towards the issue of "state neutrality." The question is, "What is Al-Sadir McIntyre's view of the institution of government? And what is his position on the neutrality of the state in liberal thought? "It is assumed that “First of all, McIntyre has no endorsing view of modern government and its grand narrative, and is in favor of communism. It also denies the impartiality of the state in liberal thought and advocates the rule-based interventionism of the state to moralize citizens ". Macintyre is a new Aristotelian thinker who emphasizes the restoration of virtue and prosperity in the modern age as it was in the classical Greek era.

This paper is aimed to show the possibility and necessity of New City-state Orientation as a new form of democracy; a new form of democracy in which city and citizenship in the light of deterritorialization and communitarianist pluralism attain a mental and cultural form instead of a bodily-civilizational form. In this paper New City-state Orientation is defined as follows: passing along the concepts of insiders and outsiders, passing along the hierarchical and vertical world to the horizontal world, non-territorialness, mental-culturalness, modification of liberalism because of its extreme individualism with the help of the communitarianist view, emphasis on the concept of “authenticity” or “valuability of difference” beyond the concept of “dignity”, the wane of the big concepts like society and the birth and proliferation of community instead of that. New City-state Orientation, in the communitarianist context and with the view of globalization, while acknowledging the legitimacy of subcultures and local and traditional cultures has taken a non-physical and non-bodily look at the category of city and citizenship.The question of the paper is how we can come to a mutual understanding between responsible citizenship and human rights today. The hypothesis of the question is that in the light of deterritorialization of city and the citizenship we can come to such a mutual understanding.The theoretical framework of the paper is the “the body without organs theory” of Gilles Deleuze and its methodology is analytical-descriptive with the use of library data.
