The essay takes up a distinction between "naturalist" and "voluntarist" ideas of nation, originally proposed by F. Chabod. It draws a link between the voluntarist nature of Italian nation-building and the highly politicized tradition of Italian public culture. The essay traces back to the Risorgimento a division between a national-liberal voluntarism and a democratic-revolutionary voluntarism which has permeated also the birth of the Italian politics parties in the late XIX C. and during the XX, until the birth of the Italian Republic.

Abstract
The essay takes up a distinction between "naturalist" and "voluntarist" ideas of nation, originally proposed by F. Chabod. It draws a link between the voluntarist nature of Italian nation-building and the highly politicized tradition of Italian public culture. The essay traces back to the Risorgimento a division between a national-liberal voluntarism and a democratic-revolutionary voluntarism which has permeated also the birth of the Italian politics parties in the late XIX C. and during the XX, until the birth of the Italian Republic.File in questo prodotto:
