Kant's Grounded Cosmopolitanism: Original Common Possession and the Right to Visit

Autor Jakob Huber
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 iul 2022
Two kinds of cosmopolitan vision are typically associated with Kant's practical philosophy: on the one hand, the ideal of a universal moral community of rational agents who constitute a 'kingdom of ends' qua shared humanity. On the other hand, the ideal of a distinctly political community of 'world citizens' who share membership in some kind of global polity. Kant's Grounded Cosmopolitanism introduces a novel account of Kant's global thinking, one that has hitherto been largely overlooked: a grounded cosmopolitanism concerned with spelling out the normative implications of the fact that a plurality of corporeal agents concurrently inhabit the earth's spherical surface. It is neither concerned with a community of shared humanity in the abstract, nor of shared citizenship, but with a 'disjunctive' community of earth dwellers, that is, embodied agents in direct physical confrontation with each other. Kant's grounded cosmopolitanism as laid out in the Doctrine of Right frames the question how individuals relate to one another globally by virtue of concurrent existence and derives from this a specific set of constraints on cross-border interactions.

Recenzii

It is hard to deny the fact that humans cannot avoid living side by side with all other humans. Yet nobody apart from Kant and Huber seems to have drawn out its implications for migration and mobility, the critique of colonialism, and the establishment of a tolerant and diverse global order.
This book advances a novel and plausible position in ongoing debates about cosmopolitanism and global justice, focusing on the seemingly unremarkable idea that everyone has a right to be someplace. Building on this idea, it develops an account of cosmopolitan justice in terms of rights to possible interaction. Everyone working on Kantian political philosophy and everyone interested in issues of cosmopolitanism will want to read it.
Jakob Huber's terrific book develops a reading of Kant's 'grounded cosmopolitanism', based on our relationship as earth dwellers who act and affect one another through the use of space. This is a very important contribution to Kant scholarship, with significant implications for our understanding of colonialism and global mobility.
