Description
The concept of cosmopolitanism was elaborated in the Hellenistic context and has indeed been used and reinterpreted throughout history. What seems most interesting is to discuss the evolution of its meaning from the Greek idea of the government of the world as an extended city, through the social situation of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Oriental towns, to the present debate about world governance, urban governance, and life in the cities.
