Cosmopolitanism and the Enlightenment

Cosmopolitanism and the Enlightenment by Neil Safier

This timely intervention into the debate about the legacy of the Enlightenment highlights both the plurality and the continuing relevance of Enlightened cosmopolitanism to contemporary global concerns, linking cultural history with the history of ideas and politics, in a global perspective.
