Patriotism as Bad Faith

As patriotism of bad faith, Simon Keller pointed out in his article "patriotism as a bad faith" that patriotism is not virtue but vice versa. Keller first divided the view of this philosophical argument into three different expressions. Patriotism is not only valuable virtue for anyone but also virtue that is vital in practice. The second form of expression is the first abrupt contradiction format known as "hard GM".

You can strengthen patriotism by observing national religion (folk religion, even priesthoodism). This contrasts with the separation of the church and the state that wise thinkers demand, which regards patriotism and faith as a similar opposite force. Both Michael Billig and Jean Bethke Elshtain believe that the distinction between patriotism and faith is difficult to distinguish and is highly dependent on the attitude of the labelmaker. Christopher Heath Wellman, professor of philosophy at the University of Washington in St. Louis, described a popular "patriotic" position, a strict obligation to fellowman lovers, and a minimum Samaritan's responsibility to foreigners. Wilman called this position "patriot" rather than "nationalist" and chose the territory and political unit, not members of the cultural group.

What is malicious? This is the term made by philosopher Jean Paul Sartre. In other words, in the useful gloss of George Mason University Anthropologist Roger Lancaster, you started to believe with lying. Then forget that this is a lie. In the context of discussion, malicious participation means participating without actually understanding or solving dissent opinions, and usually appears as a serious misrepresentation of the counterparty. At that time - especially when fascinated by the excitement of group criticism - it is apt to forget that you are opposed to your invention standpoint
