Rethinking Nationalism, Patriotism, and Cosmopolitanism: A Confucian Perspective

Guoxiang Peng

(Distinguished Professor, Zhejiang University)

 

Abstract

 

Inspired by the arguments of Love for Country, this talk intends to rethink nationalism, patriotism, and cosmopolitanism and their relations from the perspective of Chinese tradition and Confucianism in particular. In my view, the Confucian standpoint on this issue could be regarded as a rooted cosmopolitanism or a cosmopolitan patriotism, which is helpful to unlock or at least loosen the entanglement of nationalism, patriotism, and cosmopolitanism.
