Grounding Cosmopolitanism by Garrett Wallace Brown
In a new interpretation, Garrett Wallace Brown considers Kant's cosmopolitan thought as a form of international constitutional jurisprudence that requires minimal legal demands. He 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.
An erudite and compelling analysis of Kant's cosmopolitan philosophy and the place of this work in cosmopolitan thinking todayA major contribution. -- David Held, Graham Wallas Professor of Political Science, LSE In this excellent book Garrett Brown outlines and defends Kant's cosmopolitan political theory. This book is strongly recommended for all those interested in Kant's political theory and in contemporary theories of global justice. -- John Charvet, London School of Economics and Political Sciences Political Studies Review
