Post-nationalism as a phenomenon and a system of organization of global politics is a one of the most utopian political and philosophical demands. The aim of this article is to bring forward the post-nationalism as this is rarely raised and even disregarded phenomenon in political science. The main focus is going to be put on its genesis, proposed forms and possibility of realization. The examples of post-nationalism are pointed in a history, political thought, and a popular culture in which it occurs surprisingly often as a science or political fiction. It may indicate the existence of a somewhat romantic dream of creators and philosophers which, while impossible to come true nowadays, finds its place in utopian cultural texts, often presented as something positive, the goal to aspire to. There is also an explanation from the neorealist, liberal, constructivist standpoints along with the current state of international politics why post-nationalism can be presently taken as a utopia only. The paper ends with an attempt to explain the phenomenon of post-nationalism in the form of hypothesis of its inevitability in the right situation – when humanity will be forced to face hitherto unheard of challenges.

This paper discusses Adam Smith’s intellectual relationship with the French Enlightenment, with a particular focus on his view of French culture as conveyed in The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759). Compared to England at that time, eighteenthcentury Scotland is considered as having a closer affiliation with France in terms of their intellectual and cultural life during what has been dubbed the Enlightenment. While David Hume was representative of the affinity between the French and Scottish literati, Smith also held an enduring interest in the French philosophy, literature, and other aspects of its civilisation, long before the historic visit to Toulouse and Paris (1764–1766) that would shape his political economy greatly. While this paper shall examine Smith’s Francophile and Europeanist tendency within his moral argument, it also emphasises that he was abundantly aware of the moral cultural tensions between these two branches of the European Enlightenment.
