Retraces the origins of collective forms of malaise such as fanatical patriotism and xenophobia, both legacies of monotheism - the cult of an exclusivist deity. This title looks at the notions of covenant, territory, kinship and nation, and formulates the view of nation-state as expansion of the ego (Buber) and as imagined community.
