Reconsidering Cosmopolitanism and Forgiveness presents a
world-centric, ‘caring’ conceptualization of cosmopolitanism and
forgiveness grounded in the thought of two radical, twentieth-century
continental thinkers: Hannah Arendt and Jacques Derrida. It
fundamentally re-evaluates what it means to care for the world in
‘dark times’ and develops a political theory of repairing,
preserving and cultivating the relationships which constitute the
human community. This interdisciplinary book reveals how
cosmopolitanism and forgiveness each care for the powerful experience
of human freedom: the power to begin new courses of political action
with a plurality of people in the public realm. It not only casts new
light on the political thought of both Arendt and Derrida but also
contributes to ongoing debates about the nature of political spaces,
the possibility for collective political action, and the importance of
cultivating encounters with the unknown Other in today’s digitally
interconnected world.
