As we face new global challenges - from climate change to the
international political order - the need to re-examine the
historical roots of cosmopolitanism and liberal principles on a
global scale has become increasingly central to the political
conversation. Cosmopolitanism and the Enlightenment brings together
leading scholars in cultural history, the history of ideas and
global politics in order to reassess the complexity of
cosmopolitanism during the Enlightenment and its various
interpretations over time. Through a fresh and revisionist
perspective, the volume explores issues of universalism and
cultural diversity, the idea of civilization, race, gender, empire,
colonialism, global inequality, national patriotism, international
and civil conflict, and other forms of political discourse,
challenging the simple negative stereotype that the Enlightenment
was inevitably hierarchical and Eurocentric. This timely
intervention into the debate about the legacy of the Enlightenment
highlights both the plurality and the continuing relevance of
Enlightened cosmopolitanism to contemporary global concerns.
