Summary: | Nationalism is one of modern history's great surprises. How is it that the nation, a relatively old form of community, has risen to such prominence in an era so strongly identified with the individual? Bernard Yack argues that it is the inadequacy of our understanding of community--and especially the moral psychology that animates it--that has made this question so difficult to answer. |
