Cosmopolitanism and Human Reason An Introduction

Creators

  • 1. University of Palermo

Description

Over and above the modalities with which it is expressed in the domains of Kant’s system, the theme of cosmopolitanism embodies the meaning of a philosophy seen as a plan to build on the connection between man, polis and reason; an essential connection that in human reason identifies not a simple endowment which everyone has by nature but a form of life to be realized in the world, a purpose whose binding strength is only fully expressed in the public dimension.

Notes

Angelo Cicatello is Associate Professor of Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Palermo, where he teaches Metaphysics. A researcher on Kant and German classical philosophy, he has also taken an interest in the themes of Classical Critical Theory and developments of ontological-metaphysical problems within contemporary reflection
