Abstract

In this absorbing book, George McKenna ranges across the entire panorama of American history to track the development of American patriotism. That patriotism-shaped by Reformation Protestantism and imbued with the American Puritan belief in a providential "errand"-has evolved over 350 years and influenced American political culture in both positive and negative ways, McKenna shows. The germ of the patriotism, an activist theology that stressed collective rather than individual salvation, began in the late 1630's in New England and traveled across the continent, eventually becoming a national phenomenon. Today, American patriotism still reflects its origins in the seventeenth century. By encouraging cohesion in a nation of diverse peoples and inspiring social reform, American patriotism has sometimes been a force for good. But the book also uncovers a darker side of the nation's patriotism-a prejudice against the South in the nineteenth century, for example, and a tendency toward nativism and anti-Catholicism. Ironically, a great reversal has occurred, and today the most fervent believers in the Puritan narrative are the former "outsiders"-Catholics and Southerners. McKenna offers an interesting new perspective on patriotism's role throughout American history, and he concludes with trenchant thoughts on its role in the post-9/11 era.

Abstract

Le titre de cet ouvrage, inspiré de Kant, ouvre un espace immense : celui qu'explore en tous sens, en frayant les trajets multiples de sa recherche, la pensée contemporaine. Réunies dans une collaboration significative, on trouvera ici une quarantaine de contributions, offrant une sorte de coupe ou d'analyse spectrale du tissu vivant de la culture qui est en train de se créer. Elles relèvent pour majeure partie de la philosophie, mais également de la théologie, de la psychanalyse, de la critique littéraire et d'autres sciences humaines. Ceux qui les signent sont tous d'éminents et brillants spécialistes. Le moindre intérêt de ce livre n'est pas de rassembler leurs noms et leurs styles si différents, mais si proches dans leur intelligence et leur bonheur de penser. Un instrument unique de réflexion et d'information est ainsi offert au lecteur qui veut lui aussi penser avec son temps.
