Cosmopolitanism and the Banality of
Geographical Evils
Speaker:
Professor David Harvey
Chair
Professor Anthony Giddens
The revival of interest in cosmopolitanism
as an ethical position consistent with
globalisation has sparked considerable
debate in recent years. But it often leaves in abeyance the question
of the nature ofthe geographical and anthropological knowledge necessary
to the appropriate application of any universal ethic.
By tracing the relations between
geographical concepts in the work of Kant,
Foucault and a variety of other political
thinkers, it is possible to build a stronger
perspective on the relation between
geographical knowledge and the nature of
cosmopolitan projects.
Free event and open to all, no ticket
