A Discourse on the Love of Our Country, delivered by Richard Price in 1789, stands as a powerful oration on civic duty and the principles of liberty. Addressed to the Society for Commemorating the Revolution in Great Britain, this discourse delves into the essence of patriotism, challenging conventional notions and advocating for a love of country rooted in reason and universal benevolence. Price's eloquent arguments explore the moral obligations citizens owe to their nation, emphasizing the importance of justice, freedom, and the pursuit of societal improvement.
This edition makes Price's influential speech accessible to contemporary readers, offering insights into the political and philosophical landscape of late 18th-century Britain. His reflections on national identity and the responsibilities of citizenship remain profoundly relevant in today's world, inviting readers to contemplate the true meaning of loving one's country.
