Globalization is more than an economic or geopolitical matter; it
is above all a new (political) culture. Like the Kantian revolution
in the 18th century, our 'global' moment urgently requires
philosophical inquiry to determine if it represents a 20th century
revolution in thinking. Critical Cosmology takes up the task of
establishing the much needed philosophical tools to 'think'
globalization by reading Kant's re-foundation of cosmopolitanism as
a political, not moral, text. Raulet, in committing himself to a
close study of this late capitalist global moment, gets us to a
much-needed cosmology of 21st century 'globalization.' The world's
economic evolution has continually challenged some of our most
basic modern concepts, especially the recognition of the rights of
nations. This evolution has also created a need for recognizing the
rights of citizens and others participating in the growth of the
world's economies. In neither the service of a prescriptive
morality nor in the service of any one specific cultural,
political, or intellectual ideology GZrard Raulet investigates the
construction of a public space that can accommodate global
citizenship. Through a unique and massive genealogy of political
thinkers Raulet, like no other contemporary critic, begins the
process of carving out the social, cultural, and political space
that will come to accommodate the common activity of an emerging
global culture. A brilliant and unique investigation of our
contemporary political moment this will affect political thinkers
of every variety and, especially, those who are concerned with
conflict and peace studies, the development of nations and
nation-states, and human rights on a national and international
scale
