- Summary:
- Scholars of literature, and a sociologist, explore the notion of cosmopolitanism from the Enlightenment to the present, emphasizing its multiple meanings, ideological background, ramifications, and impact. In sections on (trans)national perspectives, agents of cosmopolitanism, and afterlives, they consider such topics as the Europeanization of Russian nobility through emotional patterns, Spinoza's impact on Europe, and the rise and fall and rise and fall and rise again of the concept of progress in Anglo-American anthropology.
