Title Living with Difference: Cosmopolitanism, Modernity, and Political Community
 
Creator Baban, Feyzi
 
Subject

 
Description In "Living with Difference: Cosmopolitanism, Modernity, and Political Community," Feyzi Baban makes an important intervention in the continuing debate over the possibility of cosmopolitan democracy at the global level. Baban summarizes the current debate over cosmopolitanism, weaving together its North American and European strands. Arguing that, as currently formulated, cosmopolitanism falls prey to an abstract and potentially coercive universality that erases difference instead of living with it — seen, in particular, in those analytics that deploy a Kantian rationality and its universal reason and are predicated on multiple forms of exclusion, principally those that arise out of colonialism and racism — Baban proffers a vision of cosmopolitanism that is open to difference and conflicting value systems.
