OverviewThe idea of national philosophy carries in it a strange contradiction. We talk about 'German philosophy' or 'American philosophy'. But philosophy has always pictured itself to be the project of universality. It presents itself as something that takes place outside or beyond the national ultimately detachable from language, culture and history. So why do we assign nationalities to philosophies? Building on Jacques Derrida's unpublished seminars on philosophical nationalism, Oisn Keohane claims that national philosophies are a variant of some form of cosmo-nationalism: a strain of nationalism that uses, rather than opposes, ideas in cosmopolitanism to advance the aims of one nation.

Table of ContentsReviewsThis unfailingly intelligent, rigorous and intellectually honest book gives perhaps the first extended philosophical account of what its title calls 'cosmo-nationalism', namely the philosophical claim that one nation or another preponderantly or uniquely embodies the value of cosmopolitanism. Keohane's book is intellectually demanding, but highly readable and also very timely, as philosophers begin to grapple with the philosophically scandalous insistence of nationalism in philosophy.-- ""Geoffrey Bennington, Emory University"" "This unfailingly intelligent, rigorous and intellectually honest book gives perhaps the first extended philosophical account of what its title calls 'cosmo-nationalism', namely the philosophical claim that one nation or another preponderantly or uniquely embodies the value of cosmopolitanism.
