Book Overview
In this thoughtful essay, the author explores the nature of patriotism and argues that true love of country requires more than mere loyalty to its institutions. Drawing on the works of great thinkers from Plato to Emerson, he makes a compelling case for a higher form of patriotism that encompasses a willingness to critique one's own society in the service of improving it. With its powerful message and elegant prose, The Higher Patriotism is a must-read for anyone interested in the ethics of citizenship.
