“This important and timely work provides a philosophical analysis
of the causes and conditions that led to nationalist movements in
an era of globalism and cosmopolitanism. The contributors are
second to none, and provide a range of perspectives that makes this
volume indispensable for our times.”
*Khalil M. Habib, Hillsdale College*
“Cosmopolitanism and Its Discontents is a richly diverse collection
of meditations on and analyses of traditional and contemporary
conceptions of cosmopolitanism in its virtues and its vices. This
volume is very much the kind of deepening that is needed for
today’s ongoing, fraught dialectic between globalism and
particularism.”
*Thomas L. Pangle, University of Texas at Austin*
“Cosmopolitanism and Its Discontents is a lively and intelligent
array of essays on both the fact and the philosophy of
cosmopolitanism. Readers will enjoy the view from a surprising
number of aspects and will be impressed with the arguments and
unsuspected depths they encounter.”
*Harvey C. Mansfield, Harvard University*
