Nationalism and Cosmopolitanism in the German Enlightenment: ‎ The Anthropological Foundations of Immanuel Kant’s Political Thought

Zusammenfassung:

My DAAD fellowship at IZEA is dedicated to completing my dissertation, which examines Kant’s conceptual relationships of nationalism and cosmopolitanism. Rather than focusing on these concepts in isolation, the object of this study is to examine how he viewed the relationship between the two. The dissertation argues that this relationship must be understood against the background of Kant’s philosophical anthropology, as well as his engagement with the Popularphilosophie intellectual movement.

Thus, the dissertation aims to accomplish three goals: The first is to uncover different ways in which the relations between nationalism and cosmopolitanism were conceptualized in the past. Second, by gleaning historical insights from an intellectual landscape of an era not dissimilar to our own, it aspires to add nuance to our own present political predicament–where nationalism and cosmopolitanism are commonly accepted as being antithetical to each other.

Finally, as part of a larger scholarly vision that endeavors to reintegrate philosophical anthropology into the foundations of political thought, it seeks to demonstrate how this approach deepens our understanding of intellectual history–while broadening the horizons of contemporary political theory as well.
