Abstract
In recent years, many major philosophers have been eager to demonstrate that national and cosmopolitan allegiances can be reconciled. The pragmatist Richard Rorty has shown how nationalism and cosmopolitanism can be different but overlapping constructions of loyalty (Rorty 1998b). The utilitarian Peter Singer has suggested that nations can be useful tools to the extent that they help us to redress global wrongs (but also that our national allegiance should end when they serve only to exacerbate those wrongs) (Singer 2002, 7). And the Kantian Martha Nussbaum (like nearly all of the many influential contributors to her For Love of Country?) offers different approaches to reconciling a love of country with a love of humanity (Nussbaum 2002).
