Opis

This collection is a detailed exploration of cosmopolitanism written by eminent scholars and public intellectuals from many disciplines and cultural backgrounds. By challenging old assumptions and advancing new analytical frameworks, it provides a full and representative set of views on the nature, definition and prospects of cosmopolitanism as well as clarification and explication of different cosmopolitan traditions.

Recenzje

The value of Conceiving Cosmopolitanism lies in this acute awareness amongst the contributors that while cosmopolitanism may furnish some of the tools for a new framework for a post-national global era, it suffers from potentially crippling weaknesses.
