Nationalism is a globally resurgent phenomenon. From Britain to
India and the United States of America, we find nations
vociferously reasserting their own sovereignty, ethnic composition,
and intrinsic superiority. Thomas J. Millay demonstrates how
Kierkegaard's ascetic voice speaks directly to our present
crisis.Kierkegaard and the New Nationalism: A Contemporary
Reinterpretation of the Attack upon Christendom analyzes the late
writings of Kierkegaard in light of this new relevance, for
Kierkegaard's attack upon Christendom is also an attack upon
nationalism. For Kierkegaard, taking on nationalism is not simply a
matter of undermining false identity constructions. Attacking
nationalism is a matter of renunciation: it requires ascetic
discipline, such that the selfish motives at the core of one's
identity construction are uprooted and replaced by a self-giving
love marked by the willingness to suffer.
