RUINS OF COSMOPOLITAN DISCOURSE

Annotation:
The historical ambivalence of the cosmopolitan project and its multifaceted
development lead to the breaking up of a single corpus of cosmopolitan discourse into
multiple factions of partially contradictory and contrasting approaches that claim to be
cosmopolitan. There is more to the fact that cosmopolitanism itself is split into political,
economic, moral, legal or cultural, than the Kantian model of cosmopolitan federation
reveals more and more critical points of inconsistency with the universalism. At the
same time, modernity imposes completely new requirements to understanding the
"cosmopolitan" and, thus, breaks the original core, and deconstructs the classical base of
concepts around cosmopolitanism.
