Abstract

This paper suggests the need to re-think the idea of a cosmopolitan orden, developing the Kantian Project in abstract terms. Habermas analyzes the incompleteness of the alternative between a world republic and a league of nations. Then, he outlines how we can re-conceptualize the Kantian Project under contemporany conditions. Finally, he addresses a real challenge (deficit of legitimacy of the forms of goverment, world market society) to which that project of a cosmopolitan orden can offer the most promising response.
