- The monograph is over 95,000 words long and explores the rise of national philosophies in the eighteenth and nineteenth century through what the author calls cosmo-nationalism. It examines four key authors to do this: Kant, Fichte, Tocqueville and Emerson. Since the national reception of these authors sometimes differs, the research required extensive immersion in several foreign-language literatures (primarily French-language and German-language scholarship). It also draws on the unpublished French-language seminars dedicated to nationalism that Jacques Derrida undertook between 1984-1988, and which are housed in the Critical Theory Archive at the University of California, Irvine.
