Despite its title, this is no book for beginners trying to understand the history and valences of the concept of cosmopolitanism. An excellent read if you want to read someone who still places some bets on a cosmopolitan society and is able to put this forward in an informed way without refusing a touch of enthusiasm for a better future.
