Entry: A Response to Dan Larison Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/a_response_to_dan_larison#25480 Post contents: Some remedial “homework”: Carlton Hayes in Nationalism: A Religion: “we may affirm that modern nationalism, as we know it today, had its original seat in England.” Get in line Jacobins “So, Englishmen, at least God-fearing Puritan Englishmen, are God’s ‘chosen people’ in modern times, as the Israelites were of yore.” Hayes seems to endorse Voegelin’s evaluation the Puritans as emblematic of gnostic politics in the concluding chapter of The New Science of Politics. There are plenty of propositions involved and these entail theological messianic claims which other forms of nationalism do not. Sent at: 2008 10 13
