Além da dicotomia Ocidente/Resto: perspectivas cosmopolíticas

Abstract

In this article, we argue that the cosmopolitical project can and must go beyond the West/Rest dichotomy, as it would otherwise risk reproducing world-historical power asymmetries. To do so, we reconstruct Jürgen Habermas’s cosmopolitical project from a hermeneutical-sociological perspective, which internally connects the cosmopolitanism of human rights to a cosmopolitics of the world order.
