Opis
The article aims at finding reasons of plurality and variety of nationalisms. Their number and essential differences seem to depend on influence exerted on them by specific social systems. Such influence results from the right received by social structures of different types to participate in constructing the political nation. In the shadow of carried out analyses there is a rudimentary truth that nation is a source of all nationalisms, in other words, that all features of present nationalisms, in fact, come from the characterization of political nations. Consequently, a relation between nationalism and cultural nation, i.e. a specific type of social (not political) structure, is not so much evident. Even if such a relation happens, it ends with fighting between person (nation’s highest value) and community (nationalism’s highest value) for precedence. The author claims, that the national social system is only one of these which rival with each other within the same political structure. Therefore, nationalisms found and still can find sufficient number of good sources for their own variety outside the national social structure. These nationalisms, which grant privileges to individuals, can discover their roots in the kinship social system; others, which protest against any domination of individuals in society and show favouritism to communities, can find patterns in the tribal social system; finally these, which tend to reconcile advocates of individuals with these of communities, can seek creative intuitions in the people’s social system. However, all ethnic-based nationalisms in conjunction with instruments, which only political structures deliver, can be transformed into absolutism, imperialism, or etatism. The author concludes that only the national culture (with its national social system) seems to be in a position to guarantee an effective defence against these possible threats.
