Cosmopolitanism is one of the most venerable intellectual
traditions in the history of political philosophy. From the ancient
Greek Diogenes' claim to be "a citizen of the world" through to
Kant's Enlightenment vision of a world government and even into our
own time, the idea of cosmopolitanism has stirred the moral
imagination of many throughout history. Arguably the Brexit
referendum result and the election of Donald Trump in 2016 marked
the first major public repudiation of the transnational,
globalizing cosmopolitan ideals that have arguably dominated
politics in the liberal democratic West since the end of the Cold
War. This volume reconsiders cosmopolitanism and its discontents in
the age of Brexit and Trump by bringing together the great thinkers
in the history of political philosophy and contemporary reflections
on the problems and possibilities of international relations, human
rights, multiculturalism, and regnant theories of democracy and the
state.
This edited volume addresses Alexandre Kojeve's work from different
perspectives, emphasizing the continuity between his early
reception of a set of non-philosophical and philosophical
influences and that which he might have sought himself to exercise
in a pedagogical and practical manner. The first part of the book
comprises six essays in which their authors explore Kojeve's
understanding of art, religion and atheism, and his reception of
the thought of Hegel, Marx, and Carl Schmitt. The book's second
part is made up by two contributions that tackle respectively
Kojeve's conceptions of the "end of history" and "empire" in the
light of his notion of Sophia or "Wisdom", and his understanding of
the relationship between philosophy and power in the light of an
exegetical reading of the debate he held with Leo Strauss. The
authors of the final three essays set out to explore the extent to
which Kojeve's previous processing of a set of non-philosophical
and philosophical influences might have resulted in three
increasingly concrete outcomes, namely: his notion of authority;
the Lacanian mirror-stage; and global trade.

Heideggers Nietzsche: European Modernity and the Philosophy of the
Future offers a study of two key figures in the history of
philosophy. By way of a textual interpretation of Martin
Heidegger's reading of Friedrich Nietzsche, it draws renewed
attention to the question of ontology in the history of Western
thought. The discussion unfolds in the context of an epochal period
of transition in European culture that in Heidegger's
interpretation of Nietzsche is in the process of "fulfillment." The
book examines the sources of this transformative event, with
special emphasis on the contrast between the modern predominance of
Cartesian inter-subjectivity and a manner of thought that dwells in
the philosophical anthropology of classical Greek culture. It
partakes in the Platonic-Aristotelian tradition of studying the
life of the mind from architectonic perspectives, highlighting the
key comparative importance of philosophical "vision," in tandem
with the voice of conscience. In that spirit, the book explores an
encounter between Heidegger and Nietzsche at the interstice between
hermeneutics and a therapeutic consideration of philosophy.
