Patriotism, Our Most Contested Virtue
Prof. Smith, Alfred Cowles Professor of Political Science at Yale has written about Spinoza, Lincoln, Leo Strauss and Isaiah Berlin. His new book about patriotism came out in February.
The concept of patriotism has fallen on hard times. What was once a value that united Americans has become so polarizing that it threatens to rip apart the social fabric. On the right, patriotism has become synonymous with nationalism, while on the left it is seen
as an impediment to cosmopolitan globalism. My purpose is to reclaim patriotism from both of these extremes by showing how it can be an ennobling virtue that democratic societies cannot afford to do without. Books are available for purchase in the B’nai Jacob office.
