Description
Book SynopsisIs patriotism a worthy ideal, one that we ought to promote and support? Or is it a dangerous and destructive notion that leads to war and hostility? Patriotism, Morality, and Peace provides the first sustained philosophical treatment of these questions, distinguishes different forms of patriotism, and shows why some forms are indeed dangerous, while others can be valuable and constructive.
Trade ReviewA refreshingly concise and accessible discussion of a cluster of vital and controversial questions, free from cant and special pleading. -- Jean Bethke Elshtain, The Laura Spelman Rockeller Professor of Social and Political Ethics, University of Chicago; author of Just War Against Terror
It is rare that a philosopher addresses a topic that is at once of vital interest to non-philosophers and philosophers alike....I highly recommend using this text. * Concerned Philosophers For Peace Newsletter *
