'An erudite and compelling analysis of Kant's cosmopolitan philosophy and the place of this work in cosmopolitan thinking today. A major contribution.' David Held, Graham Wallas Professor of Political Science, LSE '/Grounding Cosmopolitanism/ is both a penetrating exposition of the logic of Kant's cosmopolitan theory and an insightful extrapolation of cosmopolitan ideas to the present condition of world politics. In doing so, this slim volume illuminates the moral foundations of human rights, humanitarian assistance and global governance -- no small accomplishment.' Michael Doyle, Columbia University, author of /Liberal Peace/ ONE FURTHER ENDORSEMENT TO COME BY 15.01.13 Explores Kant's cosmopolitanism and the normative requirements consistent with a Kantian based cosmopolitan constitution Contrary to many contemporary interpretations, Kant's cosmopolitan thought is here considered as a form of international constitutional jurisprudence that requires minimal legal demands, in contrast with the extreme condition of establishing a world state. Viewing Kant's cosmopolitan theory in this way allows it to satisfy communitarian, realist and pluralist concerns without surrendering cosmopolitan principles of human worth and cosmopolitan law. This leads to a more comprehensive understanding of Kantian cosmopolitanism and what normative implications this vision has for contemporary international political theory. Key Features *Outlines the various positions within Kant's cosmopolitanism and examines their interrelated themes and conclusions *Defends a Kantian cosmopolitan position against its most profound critics *Argues for the contemporary and interdisciplinary relevance of Kant's cosmopolitan thought and its importance for understanding and resolving current global concerns *Explores and defends topics such as cosmopolitan law, cosmopolitan right, the laws of hospitality, a Kantian federation of states, a cosmopolitan epistemology of culture and a possible normative basis for a Kantian form of global distributive justice Garrett Wallace Brown is Reader in Political Theory and Global Ethics at the University of Sheffield.
