Cosmopolitans in the modern world

Authors

More about the book

Modern cosmopolitans are compulsive explorers in search of knowledge of world cultures; their role as translators of different languages enhances cross-cultural understanding. Defined as „world citizen“, the cosmopolitan emerges as a habitual city-dweller whose existence coincides with the emergence of the modern metropolis. Whether as Kant's blueprint for „world peace“ or Goethe's „world literature“, this study of cosmo-politanism introduces profiles of authors and intellectuals whose contribution to German and Austrian literary culture spans the globe. - GÖRNER, R.: Kosmopolitismus contra Globalismus?
