Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cosmopolitanism and Zionism The union of a sane universalism with a sane patriotism is not often achieved, because on the one hand we have the so-called intellectuals, who would boil down all the nations, strain ofi their local peculiarities, and retain the pure tea of the enlightened international, or rather cosmopolitan, man; on the other hand, we have the Violent jingoes, who would save the world by con quering it and impose on it the government of the one nation they hold to be really able to educate and develop the other races that one nation being, of course, their own. We have to defend ourselves against both the cosmopolitan and the jingo. People imagine a cosmopolitan man who does not exist. They talk of intellectuals being the same in all countries. So they would be if there were any pure intellectuals or brains walking, but there are not; all those called intellectuals retain some national prejudice and some peculiarities of race temperament they may not know this, but it is so. The ideal intellectual man, or the ideal capitalist, is a mere diagrammatic man. If you could enter a world where all men were moved by one motive - desire for impersonal knowledge or acquisition of wealth or dominion, there would be no nationality. All men would be the same.
