Abstract

The notion of cosmopolitanism understood as a law that acknowledges the right of the individual to become an active citizen of the world, with the means necessary to the exercise of the subject’s freedom and to decide on common matters of public nature both at the local and the global level, is today better reflected in the work of Thomas Pogge, Paula Casal, and Hillel Steiner. Their studies on global justice, and on what is owned to the individual independently of his community of origin, make of their thought one inheritor of Kantian’s cosmopolitanism. It is through their proposals, together with a reflection on Kant’s specific conception of cosmopolitanism, that some of the most pressing matters of international politics today, as that of migration, can be addressed.
