Race and National Solidarity

By Charles Conant Josey

Book Overview

"Race and National Solidarity" is a philosophical and sociological exploration into the foundations of group cohesion and the role of racial identity in the preservation of national stability. Charles Conant Josey examines the inherent tensions between individualistic ethical systems and the collective needs of the nation, arguing for a worldview centered on the cultural and historical integrity of Western societies. The text delves into the psychological underpinnings of group loyalty, asserting that a shared sense of identity is a prerequisite for enduring national prosperity and social order.

The work provides a critique of the internationalist and universalist movements prevalent in the early twentieth century, proposing instead that national strength is derived from a conscious recognition of group interests. Josey analyzes the relationship between ethics, psychology, and political theory to build a case for solidarity based on common heritage. This volume serves as a significant historical document for those interested in the study of social philosophy and the evolution of nationalist thought. Readers will find a detailed examination of the arguments that shaped early 20th-century debates on social ethics, cultural preservation, and the perceived necessity of homogeneity in the pursuit of a stable civilization.
