The book explores the distinct yet intertwined concepts of nationalism and patriotism, highlighting their different historical uses and implications. While patriotism fosters a love for political institutions and collective liberty, nationalism emphasizes cultural and ethnic homogeneity. Viroli uncovers an intellectual tradition that views patriotism as a vehicle for civic commitment and liberty, advocating for republican patriotism as a counter to nationalism. This perspective offers insights into fostering civic responsibility within multicultural democratic societies.
