The second chapter looks at the scientific revolution of the 17th century, and how it changed the way people thought about science and patriotism. The third chapter explores the relationship between science and nationalism in the 19th century, focusing on the emergence of scientific racism and imperialism. The fourth chapter looks at the impact of World War I on science and patriotism, and how it led to a reevaluation of the relationship between the two. The fifth chapter examines the role of science in totalitarian regimes, and how it has been used to promote patriotism and suppress dissent. Finally, the sixth chapter looks at the contemporary relationship between science and patriotism, and how it is influenced by globalization and the rise of nationalism.Overall, Patriotism And Science: Some Studies In Historic Psychology is a thought-provoking book that offers a unique perspective on the relationship between science and patriotism.
