In 'Nationalism', Ernest Gellner presents his intellectual testament, exploring the main lines of his thinking on this contemporary phenomenon. Gellner starts from cultural diversity as a basis, analyzing the relationship between culture, power and organization in the context of states and nationalism. It examines the impact of the industrialized and industrializing world, as well as the violence associated with nationalism, exploring its roots and its influence on faith and culture.
Ernest André Gellner was a French-born British-Czech philosopher and social anthropologist. Central themes in his social thought included modernisation theory and nationalism, the latter of which he developed into a leading theory. His multicultural perspective allowed him to engage with the Western world, the Muslim world, and Russian civilization.
