Kant's omnipresence in contemporary cosmopolitan discourses
contrasts with the fact that little is known about the historical
origins and the systematic status of his cosmopolitan theory. This
study argues that Kant's cosmopolitanism should be understood as
embedded and dynamic. Inspired by Rousseau, Kant developed a form
of cosmopolitanism rooted in a modified form of republican
patriotism. In contrast to static forms of cosmopolitanism, Kant
conceived the tensions between embedded, local attachments and
cosmopolitan obligations in dynamic terms. He posited duties to
develop a cosmopolitan disposition (Gesinnung), to establish common
laws or cosmopolitan institutions, and to found and promote legal,
moral, and religious communities which reform themselves in a way
that they can pass the test of cosmopolitan universality. This is
the cornerstone of Kant's cosmopolitanism, and the key concept is
the vocation (Bestimmung) of the individual as well as of the human
species. Since realizing or at least approaching this vocation is a
long-term, arduous, and slow process, Kant turns to the pedagogical
implications of this cosmopolitan project and spells them out in
his later writings. This book uncovers Kant's hidden theory of
cosmopolitan education within the framework of his overall
practical philosophy.
