Abstract


Around the Stephen Toulmin’s book, Cosmopolis. The Hidden Agenda of Modernity, I would like to present three topics: (i) The Cosmopolitanism (mainly the Eighteen Century Cosmopolitanism) is the basis for the way our democracies has been implemented. (ii) This Cosmopolitanism was a situated answer for a historically contextualized problem; now this answer is very old and alien to our present. (iii) Taking the concepts of our global justice in a contingent and continually negotiated position, it is the best way in order to defend our democracies in a world were they are weak.
