In the next book in the large series “CFS Publications” (small series “CONDITIO HUMANA”) we included the well-known study by B. Anderson on the spread of nationalism in the modern world. The originality of the author’s interpretation of the key concepts of “nation” and “nationalism” lies in a deep socio-anthropological approach to their analysis. At the same time, the author takes into account the socio-political and historical context of the formation of the phenomenon of nationalism. The book is intended for sociologists, political scientists, social psychologists, philosophers and all students of these disciplines.
