Rather than declare his lineage, social class, or gender, he defined himself as a human being, implicitly asserting the equal worth of all human beings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMartha Nussbaum pursues this \"noble but flawed\" vision and confronts its inherent tensions. The insight that politics ought to treat human beings both as equal and as having a worth beyond price is responsible for much that is fine in the modern Western political imagination. Yet given the global prevalence of material want, the conflicting beliefs of a pluralistic society, and the challenge of mass migration and asylum seekers, what political principles should we endorse? \u003ci\u003eThe Cosmopolitan Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e urges us to focus on the humanity we share rather than on what divides us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Lucid and accessible...In an age of resurgent nationalism, a study of the idea and ideals of cosmopolitanism is remarkably timely.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Ryan Patrick Hanley, \u003ci\u003eJournal of the History of Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martha C.
