Description
Tracing the cosmopolitan tradition from the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes to modern political thought, this book examines the ideal of seeing every person as a citizen of the world. It explores how human equality and dignity can guide political life while confronting the tradition’s tensions, limitations, and difficult application in a divided society. With particular attention to poverty, pluralism, nationalism, migration, and asylum, the book makes a timely case for emphasizing shared humanity over exclusionary identities. The writing is lucid and philosophically rigorous, offering an accessible reassessment of a vital ideal in contemporary public life.
