Deep Cosmopolis: Rethinking World Politics and Globalisation: Routledge Innovations in Political Theory
Autor Adam K. Webben Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2017
Adam K. Webb argues that if we look back before modernity, we find a very different line of thinking about what it means to take the whole world as one’s horizon. Digging into some fascinating currents of thought and practice in the ancient world, the Middle Ages, and the early modern period, across all major civilizations, Webb is able to reveal patterns of "deep cosmopolitanism", with its logic quite unlike that of liberal globalization today. In their more cosmopolitan moments, everyone from clerics to pilgrims to empire-builders was inclined to look for deep ethical parallels—points of contact—among civilizations and traditions. Once modernity swept aside the old civilizations, however, that promise was largely forgotten. We now have an impoverished view of what it means to embrace a tradition and even what kinds of conversations across traditions are possible. In part two, Webb draws out the lessons of deep cosmopolitanism for our own time. If revived, it has something to say about everything from the rise of new non-Western powers like China and India and what they offer the world, to religious tolerance, to global civil society, to cross-border migration.
Deep Cosmopolis traces an alternative strand of cosmopolitan thinking that cuts across centuries and civilizations. It advances a new perspective on world history, and a distinctive vision of globalization for this century which has the real potential to resonate with us all.

Recenzii
"Adam Webb brilliantly explores an alternative path to globalization with dashing originality and stunning erudition. Webb defends a cosmopolitanism that is at once rooted and diverse, culturally rich and historically sensitive. His vision of a "deep cosmopolis" draws at once on the virtues of "local knowledge" and the universalist impulse that is embedded within all human cultures, yet resists the homogenized and flattened form of globalization encouraged by an elite class dismissive of local diversity and impatient with the rich complexity of civilizations." —Patrick Deneen, University of Notre Dame
Descriere
Traces an alternative strand of cosmopolitan thinking that cuts across centuries and civilisations, and suggests some important lessons for the contours of globalization in our own time. Divided into two parts, Adam K. Webb digs into some fascinating currents of thought and practice in the ancient world, the Middle Ages, and the early modern period, across all major civilisations, and traces patterns of “deep cosmopolitanism.” to map out the lost promise of deep cosmopolitanism, with its logic quite unlike that of liberal globalization today. He later draws out the lessons of deep cosmopolitanism for our own time, from the rise of new non-Western powers like China and India and what they offer the world, to religious tolerance, to global civil society, to cross-border migration. A new perspective on world history, and a distinctive vision of globalization for this century which has the real potential to resonate with us all.
