Cosmopolitanism and Patriotism: Commonalities and Differences.
First, you have to read the attachment of Nussbaum’s text from 1994 and her text from 2008. You can tell after reading both of her texts or articles how she changes her point of view in the span of 14 years. In “Patriotism and Cosmopolitanism”, Nussbaum (1994) argues that cosmopolitanism rather than patriotism should be adopted as a basis of sound education in a democratic society. In “Toward a Globally Sensitive Patriotism” (2008), she reverses her position by rejecting cosmopolitanism and embracing patriotism instead. These differing perspectives or positions are based on Nussbaum’s (1994, 2008) discussion of some important issues, including: – the definition of patriotism and cosmopolitanism. For this paper, develop an argument that establishes a connection between how Nussbaum (1994) and Nussbaum (2008) respond to the “definition of patriotism and cosmopolitanism”. Use this connection to support your own argument for how the question should be answered.
