Non-Cosmopolitan Universalism: On Armitage's Foundations of International Political Thought
In: History of European ideas, Band 41, Heft 1, S. 78-88
Abstract
In Foundations of Modern International Thought, David Armitage provides a genealogy of the multiple foundations of international political thought. But he also enables political theorists to reflect on the nature of the pluralisation of our concepts: that is, the way various components come together (or apart) in particular circumstances to form a concept that either becomes dominant or is rendered to the margins. Armitage claims that concepts can 'never entirely escape their origins'. In this paper I explore this claim from the perspective of contemporary debates about the nature of cosmopolitan political thought. [Copyright Elsevier Ltd.]
