Abstract
Given the current world situation, it is certainly no surprise that philosophers and political theorists are paying increasing attention to the topic of nationalism. It is not an easy subject to study, in part because the word means such different things to different people. There are many areas of disagreement. What counts as a "nation"? Is a nation defined by its language? by its culture? by ethnicity? What is the relationship between nationalism and the state? What are the historical origins of nationalism?
