摘要:
In our increasingly interconnected world of global risks and opportunities cosmopolitanism has become a catchword, a slogan seen and heard from the covers of popular magazines (The Cosmopolitan) to the offices of politicians. It is to this intensely contested and riveting idea that I turn to my lecture. The lecture spans intellectual history, literature, philosophy, and other areas of the humanities and social sciences. In the first part, I identify two different types of cosmopolitanism and seek to define them; in the second part, I trace their intersections and contextualisation in the work of two exilic thinkers of the first half of the twentieth century, one of them a trenchant critic of cosmopolitanism.
