“…In this vein cosmopolitan thinkers sympathetic to Kant have appealed variously in their work to the prospect or possibility of 'responsible cosmopolitan states' (Brown, 2011), 'statist cosmopolitanism' (Ypi, 2011), cosmopolitan 'democratic iterations' within states (Benhabib, 2006), and cosmopolitan 'learning processes' (Habermas, 2006). Such notions support the idea that states are able to come to autonomously recognise and act upon the demands of international Right, absent sovereign power above them.…”

Institutionalising Kant’s political philosophy: Foregrounding cosmopolitan right

There exists a longstanding debate over the global institutional implications of Immanuel Kant's political philosophy: does such a philosophy entail a federal world government, or instead only a confederal ‘league of nations’? However, while the systematic nature of Kant's tripartite ‘doctrine of right' is well recognised, this debate has been conducted with all but exclusive focus on ‘international right' in particular. This article, by contrast, brings ‘cosmopolitan right' firmly into view. It proceeds by way of engagement with the two Kantian arguments made in defence of a ‘league of nations’ in discussion of international right, each of which appeals to aspects of states’ supposed ‘personhood’: the first appeals to states’ distinctive moral personality; the second to states’ physical manifestation. The article considers what happens when we assess these arguments not just in light of the demands of international right, but also in light of cosmopolitan right, and thus in light of public right more comprehensively. The answer is that such arguments cannot succeed as full defences of a league of nations. Indeed, when we assess such arguments with cosmopolitan right in view, they point instead – either tentatively or definitively – in the direction of world government.

“…4 It is no accident in this respect that nonideal 'analytic' theorists, such as Anderson (2010) in her recent work on racial injustice, are much closer to some strands of 'Continental' theory than those working on ideal theory. Here I will suggest that there are ways of bridging the analytic-Continental divide through what, borrowing Ypi's (2011) useful phrase, may be called 'activist political theory'.…”

Reasons and practices of reasoning: On the analytic/Continental distinction in political philosophy

This essay argues that whereas 'analytic' political philosophy is focussed on generating reasons that are oriented to the issue of articulating norms of justice, legitimacy and so on, that guide political judgements about institutions and/or forms of conduct; 'Continental' political philosophy is oriented to critically assessing the practices of reasoning that characterise our social and political institutions and forms of conduct as well as our first-order normative reflection on them. It explores the distinction between the two orientations in terms of, what are called, their 'structural problematics': the guidance problem and the critique problem, before considering briefly ways in which they may be combined.
