Book Description:
|
Globalization is more than an economic or geopolitical matter; it is above all a new (political) culture and, as such, it requires philosophical inquiry to determine if it represents a 20th century revolution in thinking not unlike the Kantian Revolution represented to the 18th century. Critical Cosmology takes up the task of establishing the much needed philosophical tools to "think" globalization by reading Kant's refoundation of cosmopolitanism as a political, not moral, text.
