Culture, Identity, and Politics by Ernest Gellner (PDF)

Description

These essays explore the relationship between culture and politics in the modern world. They range in space from Iran to Algeria, and the eastern marchlands of Europe to the Atlantic, and in time over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. But they are all inspired by a cluster of linked preoccupations with the nature of the social order now emerging in the world and the kinds of moral and political legitimation it requires and permits. The essays are also linked by Ernest Gellner’s distinctive, and highly arresting, intellectual temper and style. The volume will interest a wide range of readers in the social sciences and philosophy.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Contrary to how things appear in the Amazon listing, Gellner wrote all of this book, not merely the introduction. The book mostly consists of essays published 1979-1985. Incisive and delightful to read as always, Gellner here discusses Durkheim, Malinowski, Arendt, and Wittgenstein, nationalism, totalitarianism, industrialization, and egalitarianism.
