Kant's Cosmopolitics: Contemporary Issues and Global Debates, Hardcover

Advances Kant's cosmopolitan ideas for global co-habitability and a universal condition of public right

Written by a group of international scholars, the essays in this collection apply Kantian political theory to state and global governance, peace and human rights enforcement, migrant crisis management, European federalisation, global educational reforms and fostering what some might call a 'cosmopolitan culture'. As a result, this book advances the field of Kantian cosmopolitanism and how it relates to current debates in political theory, philosophy and the study of international relations.
