Cosmopolitismo em Habermas: com Kant para além de Kant

Abstract

This study aims to show how Habermas based on Immanuel Kant's project of a peaceful world order restricted to the right to universal hospitality and a voluntary federative legal structure ends up developing a much more robust conception of international law that includes an almost state structure, although it is emphatic in asserting that it is a world governance regime without a global state. Habermas develops his conception not only in a debate with Kant's outline of a perpetual peace, but also considering the normative innovations that have occurred in the more than two hundred years that have passed since the original formulation in 1795.
