Scholarly Exploration of Nationalism: A Retrospective View

Abusailan P. Akmad

Abstract

The paper embarked on a scholarly exploration, seeking to unravel the intricate dimensions of nationalism and enhance our collective understanding. Through qualitative methodology—specifically contextual analysis—the study vividly examined the interpretations of influential thinkers regarding this complex concept. Topics spanned from “Nationalism and Its Relationship to a Nation” to “Theoretical Perspectives on Nationalism” and “Filipino Nationalism: Historical Context, Critical Issues, and Developments.” The analysis revealed that nationalism, as a subject, underwent extensive scholarly debate and analysis, reflecting its multifaceted nature and profound impact on nation-building and identity formation. In retrospect, the discourse surrounding nationalism encompassed diverse perspectives, ranging from its role in political and social transformation to its enduring influence on human history
