Rather than declare his lineage, social class, or gender, he defined himself as a human being, implicitly asserting the equal worth of all human beings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMartha Nussbaum pursues this \"noble but flawed\" vision and confronts its inherent tensions. The insight that politics ought to treat human beings both as equal and as having a worth beyond price is responsible for much that is fine in the modern Western political imagination. Yet given the global prevalence of material want, the conflicting beliefs of a pluralistic society, and the challenge of mass migration and asylum seekers, what political principles should we endorse? \u003ci\u003eThe Cosmopolitan Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e urges us to focus on the humanity we share rather than on what divides us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Lucid and accessible...In an age of resurgent nationalism, a study of the idea and ideals of cosmopolitanism is remarkably timely.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Ryan Patrick Hanley, \u003ci\u003eJournal of the History of Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 7.95 x 5.28 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 07, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767765958944,"sku":"9780674260399","price":22.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/920bb52cce08323ba03bf0f3c34b7b48.webp?v=1780316931","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-cosmopolitan-tradition-a-noble-but-flawed-ideal-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
