What does it mean to practice radical generosity? What if the
concept of "citizen" implied "world citizen?" Is cosmopolitanism
possible? Ali Kashani argues, the rise of the far right political
discourse, xenophobia, and the current immigration and refugee
crisis indicate that existing values, norms, and practices are
inadequate. Thus, it is vital to critique and resist the existing
values and norms that produce ultra-nationalistic and xenophobic
practices. Thus, radical generosity is crucial and necessary. The
concept of radical generosity opens the possibility for the
transformation of ethical and political practices and a move toward
the possibility of cosmopolitanism. Kashani argues that the
potential for the practice of radical generosity is the potential
for the possibility of cosmopolitanism. He develops the concept of
ethics of radical generosity as a social and political practice and
as an original grounding for cosmopolitanism, as both an ethical
and political transformative practice- and as a critique to resist
the rise of the far right political discourse and xenophobia. He
argues that there is an urgent need to consider a critique and
rethink the ways in which existing values, norms, and practices
deal with the rise of the far right political discourse,
xenophobia, immigration, and the refugee crisis. He suggests a new
way to bridge ethical and political cosmopolitanism in a mode that
draws inspiration from an unconditional ethics by Derrida and
Levinas, and Aristotle 's ethics of character, radicalized by
Nietzsche, that emphasize magnanimity and generosity as essential
aspects of self-realization as a form of self-overcoming, and
social transformative praxis by Marx. Kashani raises a critical
question: is cosmopolitan solidarity possible and, irrespective of
whether it is possible, is it necessary?
