Reviews

Cosmopolitanism is coming of age. The editors of this volume have assembled an impressive series of cutting-edge contributions on the topic. Coming from different perspectives, the chapters seek to steer a path toward a global critical cosmopolitanism - where critical does not mean a rejection of the cosmopolitan ideal but rather a more self-reflective approach cognizant of the likely exclusion or repression of relevant others under prevailing power constellations. -- Fred R. Dallmayr, Packey J. Dee Professor Emeritus, University of Notre Dame Committed to the cosmopolitan project, the authors of this book nevertheless pose a serious challenge to its purely normative definition. By engaging in a wide range of analyses--from human rights to basic conceptual assumptions, from conditions of intercultural communication to prospects and pitfalls of a globalized idea of democracy--this well-conceived volume aims to advance a critical cosmopolitanism by problematizing its Western roots. It admirably succeeds. -- Hans-Herbert Kogler, Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, University of North Florida
