Contemporary Cosmopolitanism is the first, much-needed,
introduction to contemporary political cosmopolitanism. Although it
has its roots in classical philosophy and politics, Cosmopolitanism
has undergone a major revival in the last forty years, stirring
far-reaching and intense international debates. Cosmopolitanism is
a way of thought and life which entails an identification of the
individual with the whole humankind, and implies a moral obligation
to promote social and political justice at the global level.
Contemporary cosmopolitanism reflects a global state that is
already in itself highly cosmopolitan, and represents an attempt to
solve the new problems raised by this situation, to reappraise a
number of traditional conceptual categories in the light of changes
having already occurred or that are still taking place, to develop
new ones, as well as to encourage and guide political-institutional
reform projects. Taraborrelli provides clear descriptions of the
three main forms of contemporary cosmopolitanism - moral,
political-legal and cultural - described through the thought of
various figures representative of the more significant approaches:
Appiah, Archibugi, Beitz, Benhabib, Bhabha, Held, Kaldor, Nussbaum,
Pogge, Sousa Santos. This book provides a sound and comprehensive
basis for the study of cosmopolitanism, ideal as a starting point
for the discussion of issues of widespread interest such as human
rights, global justice, migration, multiculturalism.
