3. PATRIOTISM AND NATIONALISM
• Patriotism, feeling of attachment and
commitment to a country, nation, or
political community. Patriotism (love of
country) and nationalism (loyalty to
one’s nation) are often taken to be
synonymous, yet patriotism has its
origins some 2,000 years prior to the
rise of nationalism in the 19th century.
4. History of Patriotism
• Greek and especially Roman antiquity provide the
roots for a political patriotism that conceives of
loyalty to the patria as loyalty to a
political conception of the republic. It is associated
with the love of law and common liberty, the search
for the common good, and the duty to behave justly
toward one’s country. This classical Roman meaning
of patria reemerges in the context of the Italian city
republics of the 15th century. Here, patria stands for
the common liberty of the city, which can only be
safeguarded by the citizens’ civic spirit.
5. • For Niccolò Machiavelli, the love of common
liberty enabled citizens to see their private and
particular interests as part of the common
good and helped them to resist corruption
and tyranny. While this love of the city is
typically intermixed with pride in its military
strength and cultural superiority, it is the
political institutions and way of life of the city
that form the distinctive focal point of this
kind of patriotic attachment. To love the city is
to be willing to sacrifice one’s own good—
including one’s life—for the protection of
common liberty.
