Deep Cosmopolis Rethinking World Politics And Globalisation Adam K Webb by Adam K. Webb instant download after payment.

  Adam K. Webb argues that if we look back before modernity, we find a very
different line of thinking about what it means to take the whole world as one’s
horizon. Digging into some fascinating currents of thought and practice in the
ancient world, the Middle Ages, and the early modern period, across all major
civilizations, Webb is able to reveal patterns of ‘deep cosmopolitanism’, with its
logic quite unlike that of liberal globalization today. In their more cosmopolitan
moments, everyone from clerics to pilgrims to empire-  builders was inclined to
look for deep ethical parallels—points of contact—among civilizations and tra-
ditions. Once modernity swept aside the old civilizations, however, that promise
was largely forgotten. We now have an impoverished view of what it means to
embrace a tradition and even what kinds of conversations across traditions are
possible. Webb draws out the lessons of deep cosmopolitanism for our own time.
If revived, it has something to say about phenomena from the rise of new non-
Western powers such as China and India and what they offer the world, to reli-
gious tolerance, to global civil society, to cross-  border migration.
