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\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Belknap Press: An Imprint of Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Cosmopolitan Tradition: A Noble But Flawed Ideal | Martha C Nussbaum | Paperback | 9780674260399 | New | Philosophy 1332623","offer_id":50550604923138,"sku":"1332623","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/51KvEI55LfL.jpg?v=1790469995","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/cosmopolitan-tradition-a-noble-but-flawed-ideal","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
