John Kleinig argues that patriotism is a virtuous form of loyalty and self-understanding; Simon Keller argues that patriotism is a vicious form of self-deception; and Igor Primoratz makes the case for a restricted, ethical form of patriotism. Each of the three authors states his case, and then responds to the arguments of the others. Thus the three major positions engage with one another in a way that is both critical and constructive, and make a joint contribution towards a better understanding and more judicious evaluation of all the main types of patriotism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe text is up-to-date, accessible, and vigorous in its presentation of the major views and arguments, presenting the only sustained, dedicated debate on patriotism and its ethical status.\u003c\/p\u003e  “This is an excellent book, perhaps the best philosophical work that exists on patriotism. Each of the three authors is an accomplished philosopher, each has a distinctive perspective, and each presents and defends his views clearly and effectively…. The discussion will both encourage and assist readers to reach their own conclusions about whether patriotism should be strongly supported or decisively rejected.”—\u003cb\u003eStephen Nathanson, , Northeastern University, author of \u003ci\u003ePatriotism, Morality and Peace\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990222192869,"sku":"NP9780470658857","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470658857.jpg?v=1761786965","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-ethics-of-patriotism-isbn-9780470658857","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
