Dialogical Cosmopolitanism

Context

Paul Healy:

"In thus highlighting the importance of situatedness, contextuality and difference, the present proposal shares much in common with other recent cosmopolitan proposals that could qualify as ‘situated’.4 It also has affinities with ‘critical’5 and ‘emancipatory’6 cosmopolitanism. Of these it has the closest affinities with Shapcott’s dialogical cosmopolitanism, in that both have been strongly influenced by Hans-Georg Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics. Nonetheless, the aim of the present project differs significantly from Shapcott’s. Thus, while Shapcott undertakes a systematic extrapolation of the significance of Gadamer's dialogical hermeneutics for contemporary cosmopolitan theorising, the present paper seeks to vindicate the contention that a commitment to doing justice to difference in a manner commensurate with the inclusiveness requirement of the discourse model calls for its dialogical reappropriation. In the process, it seeks to clarify the conditions of the possibility for genuine dialogical engagement with others. "
