World Community 2

The Rise of Nationalism in the Modern World

by Albert Anderson

Building on the transformation from theism to humanism during the Renaissance, modernism in the realm of political theory and action spawned the nation state. If the state is not based on a covenant with God, where are its roots to be found? Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau presented and developed the concept of a “social contract” among human beings as the foundation of the nation state. My purpose in introducing this quick history of the early development of the idea of the social contract is philosophical rather than historical. The fundamental principle at issue concerns the best possible form of human community. The early modern thinkers who formulated and developed the idea of the social contract considered the nation state to be the telos of history — the highest development of human existence on earth. This development is essential for the overall theme of world community, because it lays the foundation for the first of two forms of world community I will treat in this series of podcasts: the idea of empire. I will focus on the United States as the paradigm for that important development in the creation of human community.
