Species, Nationalism, Cosmopolitanism

Just as the concept of the Species-Member relation as that of Whole-Part transforms the study of the human Psyche, it inverts Modern Political Philosophy well beyond the ambitions of Marx. In opposition to the predominant tradition, the latter derives Spiritualism from Materialism.  However, though they are inherently unstable, the fundamental elements of Dialectical Materialism are still Atoms that are only subsequently totalized.  Hence, he accepts the basic Hobbesian premise that pervades Modern Political Philosophy, with Socialism, accordingly, an unalienated Leviathan.  Instead, beginning with the Species, diversification into distinct polities, and, furthermore, into distinct citizens, are the preconditions of any process of re-unification.  Accordingly, the ultimate aim of the latter can only be a Cosmopolity, with respect to which Nationalism is as obsolete as Civicism and Provincialism.  Similarly, the Internationalism of Marxism is an Atomist approximation to Cosmopolitanism.
