Cosmopolitanism versus Non-Cosmopolitanism: Critiques, Defenses, Reconceptualizations

Editat de Gillian Brock
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 iul 2013
The debate between cosmopolitans and non-cosmopolitans flourishes. Contributors continue to disagree over at least fourteen core issues analyzed in this work, including these questions: What is distinctive about a cosmopolitan approach to matters of justice? What does the commitment to the ideal of moral equality entail for global justice? Does membership in associations, especially national ones, matter to our duties to one another in the global context? Does the global economic order violate the rights of the poor or harm their interests in ways that require reform or redress? What is it to be a good "world citizen" and is this in conflict with local duties and being a good citizen of a state? To what extent are cosmopolitan and special duties reconcilable? Do cosmopolitan or non-cosmopolitan theories provide a better account of our obligations or a more useful framework for mediating the interests of compatriots and non-compatriots? This timely volume advances the discussion on many of the questions over which cosmopolitans and non-cosmopolitans continue to disagree. All the chapters explore new work and contribute to advancing the debate, and none has been published previously. Together, they demonstrate how nuanced and sophisticated some of the debate has become. The variety of topics that the debate encompasses suggests that mastering the issues is important to understanding much contemporary moral and political theorizing.

Recenzii

This collection brings together prominent proponents of cosmopolitanism and their critics, striking a laudable balance between emerging and established scholars. Gillian Brock's editorial efforts are to be commended for the fact that the volume's chapters are previously unpublished and are specifically tailored to this volume, with several chapters explicitly engaging with and responding to other chapters. As a result, the book shows a coherence that is rare in edited collections.
A well-assembled and useful collection.
Both the cosmopolitans and anti-cosmopolitans of Gillian Brocks edited collection have significant arguments to offer those seeking to theorise human rights. The question of poverty and human rights is one of a number of questions highlighted in this volume, both by the vigorous and fresh contributions, and also by Brock in her excellent introductory chapter.
It moves the debate forward in diverse and original ways.
