Abstract

HERMOSA ANDUJAR, Antonio. (Proto)nationalism of Machiavelli and Rousseau and its political repercussions. Co-herencia [online]. 2016, vol.13, n.24, pp.61-83. ISSN 1794-5887.  https://doi.org/10.17230/co-herencia.13.24.3.

In this article we aim to address the role played by nationalism tracing it back to the political doctrines of Machiavelli and Rousseau. This includes its repercussion on the order established previous to its drafting. As such repercussions adversely affect the respective ideas of democracy and theories of politics we will also carry out a brief analysis on whether the idea of evil provided in both conceptions does indeed represent a prescribed destiny to nationalism.

Keywords : Machiavelli; The Prince; Rousseau; The social contract; nationalism.
