    Moralisches Ideal und politische Wirklichkeit. Die Ambivalenz des neuzeitlichen moralischen Kosmopolitismus am Beispiel von Kant und J. St. Mill
    in Zeitschrift für Politik , Jahrgang 58, Heft 1, 2011 ,  2011
    Summary This essay assumes that all versions of modern moral cosmopolitism (whether it be rightbased, obligation-based or utilitarian) are characterized by an ambivalence between moral ideal and political reality. This ambivalence is due to the justification of the cosmopolis based on human nature. By justifying cosmopolis by the moral potential of human beings, cosmopolis appears to be a political alternative which however necessarily fails due to the selfish desires of individual man. The versions of modern moral cosmopolitism, which are here exemplified by the approaches of J. St. Mill and Kant, mainly differ with respect to addressing this ambivalence.
