«Contra las patrias» is the philosophical essay by Fernando Savater, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
Against the collectivization of violence and prefabricated national identities, Savater brings together essays in favor of cosmopolitanism, the freedom of languages, and a cultural tradition reinterpreted by each creator. The book, revised and expanded in 1996, addresses the problem of nationalities and nationalisms in Spain.
Volume 31 of the Tusquets Essay collection. The original 1984 edition had 22 texts; this 1996 version removes three and adds eight new ones, plus an author's prologue.
For readers of political philosophy and essays interested in the debate on national identities and violence in Spain.
Fernando Fernández-Savater Martín is a Spanish philosopher, essayist and author.
