Ruins of cosmopolitan discourse

The historical ambivalence of the cosmopolitan project and its multifaceted development lead to the breaking up of a single corpus of cosmopolitan discourse into multiple factions of partially contradictory and contrasting approaches that claim to be cosmopolitan. There is more to the fact that cosmopolitanism itself is split into political, economic, moral, legal or cultural, than the Kantian model of cosmopolitan federation reveals more and more critical points of inconsistency with the universalism. At the same time, modernity imposes completely new requirements to understanding the "cosmopolitan" and, thus, breaks the original core, and deconstructs the classical base of concepts around cosmopolitanism.
