Manfred Kuehn on Kant's Cosmopolitanism

Animal Ethics

(Manfred Kuehn, Kant: A Biography [Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2001], 384-5) Note from KBJ: I no more think of myself as a citizen of the world than I think of myself as a citizen of North America or of the Northern Hemisphere. I'm a citizen of the United States (as well as some of its subdivisions, such as Texas and Fort Worth).
