Tiso’s concept of nation. The struggle between universalistic humanism and national particularism
Vol.7,No.2–3(2005)
Abstract
Keywords:
nation; nationalism; ideology; particularism; universalism;
The author attempted to present the concept of the nation of the most influential person of the Slovak wartime state, President and ideologist Josef Tiso, as the clash between universal humanistic values, as presented by Christianity, and particularistic national interests. Such an approach is important not only from the perspective of avoiding a mere description of the concept of analysis but most significantly for its importance of understanding theoretical ambiguities which had fatal consequences in reality. He also uses some of the most known theoreticians in the field for the critique of their approaches.
nation; nationalism; ideology; particularism; universalism;
