Considering the different traditions of cosmopolitan thinking and
experimentation, this cutting edge volume examines the
contemporary revival of cosmopolitanism as a response to the
challenges of living in an interdependent world. Through a unique
multidisciplinary approach, it takes the debate beyond the
one-sided universalism of the Euro-American world and explores
the multiverse of transformations which confront cosmopolitanism.
The collection highlights central questions of cosmopolitan
responsibility, global citizenship and justice as well as the
importance of dialogue among civilizations, cultures, religions
and traditions. Exploring the ethical and political dimensions of
globalization, it outlines the pathways of going beyond
cosmopolitanism by striving for a post-colonial cosmopolis
characterized by global justice, trans-civilizational dialogues
and dignity for all.
