Three Excesses of Nationalisms

Main Article Content

Carlos Pereda

Abstract

The first excess of nationalism is to put our affiliation to nation above any other (to family, friends, scientific community, etc.). The second excess is endorsed by the first one: since a nationalist does not accept the identification of the nation with a community constructed by nationalism, he proposes disproportionate justifications invoking mythologies. The third excess lies in regarding nations as if they were monads in order to radically set the bounds between the internal and the external in respect of each national “us”.
