This is the first comprehensive account of Kant's cosmopolitanism,
highlighting its moral, political, legal, economic, cultural and
psychological aspects. Contrasting Kant's views with those of his
German contemporaries and relating them to current debates, Pauline
Kleingeld sheds new light on texts that have been hitherto
neglected or underestimated. In clear and carefully argued
discussions, she shows that Kant's philosophical cosmopolitanism
underwent a radical transformation in the mid 1790s and that the
resulting theory is philosophically stronger than is usually
thought. Using the work of figures such as Fichte, Cloots, Forster,
Hegewisch, Wieland and Novalis, Kleingeld analyses Kant's arguments
regarding the relationship between cosmopolitanism and patriotism,
the importance of states, the ideal of an international federation,
cultural pluralism, race, global economic justice and the
psychological feasibility of the cosmopolitan ideal. In doing so,
she reveals a broad spectrum of positions in cosmopolitan theory
that are relevant to current discussions of cosmopolitanism.
