Paperback. Zustand: Good. 480 pages. cover worn The world is becoming deeply interconnected, whereby actions in one part of t he world can have profound repercussions elsewhere. In a world of overlapping co mmunities of fate, there has been a renewed enthusiasm for thinking about what i t is that human beings have in common, and to explore the ethical basis of this. This has led to a renewed interest in examining the normative principles that m ight underpin efforts to resolve global collective action problems and to amelio rate serious global risks. This project can be referred to as the project of cos mopolitanism.In response to this renewed cosmopolitan enthusiasm, this vo lume has brought together 25 seminal essays in the development of cosmopolitan t hought by some of the world's most distinguished cosmopolitan thinkers and criti cs.

This volume thus provides a thorough and exten sive introduction to contemporary cosmopolitan thought and acts as a definitive source for those interested in cosmopolitan thinking and its critics.See also David Held's Cosmopolitanism: Ideals and Realities.…
