Rethinking Nationalism

Jocelyne Couture, Kai Nielsen, and Michel Seymour, editors

About the Book

A new and refreshing examination of the subject.

In the last two decades, nationalism has become a multiform and complex phenomenon which no longer seems to correspond to the accounts given previously by sociologists, political scientists and anthropologists. Students of nationalism now face the daunting task of renewing their subject matter.

This formidable volume of seventeen essays and an extensive Introduction and Afterword by the very capable editors, contains some of the most innovative samples of present reflection on this contentious subject. Moreover, contributions are from a variety of disciplines, from different parts of the world, often reflecting very different ways of thinking about nationalism and sometimes reflecting very different methodologies, substantive beliefs, and underlying interests.

Jocelyne Couture is a professor in the Department of Philosophy, Université du Québec à Montréal, where she teaches moral and political philosophy.

Kai Nielsen is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Calgary and Adjunct Professor of Philosophy at Concordia University.

Michel Seymour is Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Université de Montréal, where he teaches contemporary analytical philosophy.
