Summary Why do we assign nationalities to philosophies? Building on Jacques Derrida's unpublished seminars on philosophical nationalism, OisóÂƯn Keohane claims that national philosophies are a variant of some form of cosmo-nationalism: a strain of nationalism that uses, rather than opposes, ideas in cosmopolitanism to advance the aims of one nation.
