Summary/Abstract: The nation comes from a far away time, and its modern form has meant the continuation of an aspiration toward unity and collective solidarity, perennial co-ordinates of social life, fed by popular millenarianism and the new wave of political ideologies. In the eighteenth century, the new “entrepreneurs” of politics have sought a new supremely unifying principle, a new essential value, a more encompassing ideal, and the national framework has become the repository of the social pact, the natural link of legitimacy and collective solidarity.
