From the ancient Greek Diogenes' claim to be "a citizen of the world" through to Kant's Enlightenment vision of a world government and even into our own time, the idea of cosmopolitanism has stirred the moral imagination of many throughout history.

Cosmopolitanism is one of the most venerable intellectual traditions in the history of political philosophy. From the ancient Greek Diogenes' claim to be "a citizen of the world" through to Kant's Enlightenment vision of a world government and even into our own time, the idea of cosmopolitanism has stirred the moral imagination of many throughout history. Arguably the Brexit referendum result and the election of Donald Trump in 2016 marked the first major public repudiation of the transnational, globalizing cosmopolitan ideals that have arguably dominated politics in the liberal democratic West since the end of the Cold War. This volume reconsiders cosmopolitanism and its discontents in the age of Brexit and Trump by bringing together the great thinkers in the history of political philosophy and contemporary reflections on the problems and possibilities of international relations, human rights, multiculturalism, and regnant theories of democracy and the state.

«“This important and timely work provides a philosophical analysis of the causes and conditions that led to nationalist movements in an era of globalism and cosmopolitanism. The contributors are second to none, and provide a range of perspectives that makes this volume indispensable for our times.”»

«“Cosmopolitanism and Its Discontents is a richly diverse collection of meditations on and analyses of traditional and contemporary conceptions of cosmopolitanism in its virtues and its vices. This volume is very much the kind of deepening that is needed for today’s ongoing, fraught dialectic between globalism and particularism.”»

«“Cosmopolitanism and Its Discontents is a lively and intelligent array of essays on both the fact and the philosophy of cosmopolitanism. Readers will enjoy the view from a surprising number of aspects and will be impressed with the arguments and unsuspected depths they encounter.”»
