Book description
Thanks to advances in international communication and travel, it has
never been easier to connect with the rest of the world. As
philosophers debate the consequences of globalization, cosmopolitanism
promises to create a stronger global community. Cosmopolitanism in the
Age of Globalization examines this philosophy from numerous
perspectives to offer a comprehensive evaluation of its theory and
practice. Bringing together the works of political scientists,
philosophers, historians, and economists, the work applies an
interdisciplinary approach to the study of cosmopolitanism that
illuminates its long and varied history. This diverse framework
provides a thoughtful analysis of the claims of cosmopolitanism and
introduces many overlooked theorists and ideas. This volume is a
timely addition to sociopolitical theory, exploring the philosophical
consequences of cosmopolitanism in today's global interactions.
