Det är intressant att utsträcka analysen till ett vidare europeiskt perspektiv. Nationalromantiken florerade i medlet av 1800-talet, inte bara i Finland. Dess främsta förespråkare Hegel hävdade att individen får sitt värde endast som en medlem i en nation. Bifogar en artikel om J.V.Snellman skriven av professor Matti Klinge som på ett förtjänstfullt sätt beskriver den nationalromantiska rörelsen i Finland under vars inflytnade talrika finlandsvenskar "bytte nationalitet". En av dem var Joahn Gustaf Hellsten, eller som han föredrag att kallas, Juho Kusit Paasikivi.
Trevlig söndagsläsning,
It is interesting to extend the analyses to a wider European perspective. The national romantic movement was flourishing in the mid 1800s, not only in Finland. Its formost advocate Hegel claimed that the individual gets its value only as a member of a nation. The attached article about J.V.Snellman, written by professor Matti Klinge describes the national romantic currents in Finland under the influence of which numerous Swedish Finns "switched nationality". One of them was Johan Gustaf Hellsten, or as he preferred to be called Juho Kusit Paasikivi (senator, banker, ambassador, two term Finnish president)
