Jakob Huber's terrific book develops a reading of Kant's 'grounded cosmopolitanism', based on our relationship as earth dwellers who act and affect one another through the use of space. This is a very important contribution to Kant scholarship, with significant implications for our understanding of colonialism and global mobility.
