This book uncovers Kant's hidden theory of cosmopolitan education within the framework of his overall practical philosophy. The Kant brought out here turns out to be very different from current mainstream appropriations, which erroneously consider him one of the founding fathers of the 'new cosmopolitanism'. Kant's Embedded Cosmopolitanism is a valuable source for students of political philosophy, cosmopolitanism, and Kant's ethics.
