Title: Contemporary cosmopolitanism
Description: "Contemporary Cosmopolitanism is the first, much-needed, introduction to contemporary political cosmopolitanism. Although it has its roots in classical philosophy and politics, Cosmopolitanism has undergone a major revival in the last forty years,  stirring far-reaching and intense international debates.Cosmopolitanism is a way of thought and life which entails an  identification of the individual with the whole humankind, and implies a  moral obligation to promote social and political justice at the global  level.  Contemporary cosmopolitanism reflects a global state that is  already in itself highly cosmopolitan, and represents an attempt to  solve the new problems raised by this situation, to reappraise a number  of traditional conceptual categories in the light of changes having  already occurred or that are still taking place, to develop new ones, as  well as to encourage and guide political-institutional reform projects.Taraborrelli provides clear descriptions of the three main forms of contemporary cosmopolitanism - moral, political-legal and cultural - described through the thought of various figures representative of the more significant approaches: Appiah, Archibugi, Beitz, Benhabib, Bhabha, Held, Kaldor, Nussbaum, Pogge, Sousa Santos. This book provides a sound and comprehensive basis for the study of cosmopolitanism, ideal as a starting point for the discussion of issues of widespread interest such as human rights, global justice, migration, multiculturalism"--
