Study Notes

Lesson 17: Rizal's Nationalism and Patriotism (based from his novels)

Nationalism and patriotism are sometimes used interchangeably, as both show love for one's nation.
According to Hans Kohn, nationalism is an ideology where an individual's loyalty and devotion to the nation-state surpasses other interests. It emphasizes cultural unity through shared background, including language and heritage.
According to George Orwell, nationalism is about one's country being superior to others. Patriotism is an admiration for a way of life.
Rizal valued education as the key to a nation's survival and freedom.
Education empowers the Filipino people, giving them the knowledge and skills needed to resolve societal problems.
Rizal's literary works promoted the idea that Filipinos are the hope for their nation, not foreigners.
"Love of Country" by Rizal urged Filipinos to love their homeland.

Noli Me Tangere highlighted the importance of education and its role in uplifting Filipinos from darkness.
Rizal identified the false religious practices and highlighted the shortcomings of the government in his works.

El Filibusterismo, a political novel, exposes Spanish government issues and advocates for reforms.
Simoun, the protagonist, opposed the adoption of Spanish language and culture. He saw it as a method of cultural annihilation.
Rizal's El Filibusterismo is a continuation of Noli Me Tangere. In both, Rizal advocates for a national awakening.
Rizal's works stress the need for reforms, education, and patriotism.
Rizal, through Elias in Noli Me Tangere, emphasized the willingness to make self-sacrifices for the good of many. This act, which is in line with patriotism, is vital for national redemption through the ilustrado.
"I die without seeing the dawn brighten over my native land!" – Elias to Basilio (Noli Me Tangere)
In El Filibusterismo, Rizal advocated for revolution as a means to effect reforms in Filipino society through Simoun's character.
