This book delves into the philosophical presuppositions of modern political agency. Michal Rozynek explores the place of nationalism in an increasingly cosmopolitan world by approaching the fundamental questions of modern subjectivity from a new angle. Taking as a starting point the transformations of the modern self, this volume argues that the project of modernity leads to an unresolvable tension within the self - one which seemingly jeopardizes our ability to participate in a public world. Rozynek goes on to show how nationhood can offer a resolution to this tension, building on the pioneering work of Liah Greenfeld. Far from being a defense of tribalism, this book attempts to tackle both the questions of national solidarity and cosmopolitan duties, by problematizing the account of nationalism in contemporary political theory and advocating a revised model of universalism. .

12/06/2023The book described in this excerpt delves into the philosophical presuppositions of modern political agency and explores the role of nationalism in an increasingly cosmopolitan world. Michal Rozynek approaches the fundamental questions of modern subjectivity from a fresh perspective. Starting with the transformations of the modern self, this volume argues that the project of modernity creates an irresolvable tension within the self, which seemingly undermines our ability to participate in the public sphere. Rozynek goes on to demonstrate how nationhood can provide a resolution to this tension, drawing on the groundbreaking work of Liah Greenfeld.
Contrary to defending tribalism, the book aims to address both the issues of national solidarity and cosmopolitan duties by problematizing the understanding of nationalism in contemporary political theory and advocating for a revised model of universalism. It offers an in-depth analysis of the contemporary political landscape, philosophy, and nationalism. The author explores the interplay between modern self-consciousness and national consciousness, highlighting the contradictions and tensions that accompany the process of identity formation in the modern world. At the same time, the book proposes a reevaluation of universalism models, presenting a fresh perspective on the role of nationality in creating a more sustainable and just society.
