The author of this paper compares Kant's notion of cosmopolitan right with contemporary liberal cosmopolitanism of such theorists like James Bohman (Professor of Philosophy at Saint Louis University) and David Held (Professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science). These two theorists bring Kant's cosmopolitan right and reshape it by taking into consideration the process of globalization and the fact of pluralism. It is necessary to investigate how far these authors have changed the insight into Kant's cosmopolitan right and its implications as well as how deeply the authors reshape the classical liberal political vocabulary. ; Rafał Wonicki

The aim of this book is to describe human rights in philosophical categories and to compare their functions from the perspective of political realism and idealism. In this way we intend to show human rights (within the state as well as in the international relations), in conflict with civil rights and sovereignty of state. The conflict results from the universality and non-territoriality of human rights and territoriality of civil rights. The spatiality and finiteness of civil rights clash with postulated universalism and globalism of human rights. ; The Polish National Science Centre under the program SONATA BIS, grant no. 2011/01/D/HS5/01463 ; Rafał Wonicki
