Kant's Cosmopolitics

Garrett Wallace Brown is Professor of Political Theory and Global Health Policy in the School of Politics and International Studies at the University of Leeds. He co-leads the University’s Global Health cross faculty theme and has produced extensive research at the crossroads between global health and moral philosophy. His research interests also include cosmopolitan theory, Kant’s cosmopolitanism, the laws of hospitality, global constitutionalism and key issues in global justice. Áron Telegdi-Csetri holds a PhD in Political Philosophy and has held a number of post-doctoral positions examining issues in cosmopolitan theory. He has written extensively on Kant’s political philosophy and various critical debates in contemporary cosmopolitanism. His research interests include the examination of various models of cosmopolitanism and transnationalism, with an emphasis on cosmopolitan education, socialisation and temporality.

This useful volume opens up a number of important new debates about Kant’s cosmopolitanism, addressing controversial issues such as the cosmopolitan credentials of the European Union. The contributors are experienced hands and connect central with less-explored facets of Kant’s thought, such as publicity, moral education and the practical realisation of a cosmopolitan condition.
