BOSCO, Estevão  and  RIBEIRO, Wagner Costa. Beyond the West/Rest Dichotomy: Cosmopolitical Perspectives. Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais [online]. 2020, n.123, pp.5-26. ISSN 2182-7435.  https://doi.org/10.4000/rccs.10892.

In this article, we argue that the cosmopolitical project can and must go beyond the West/Rest dichotomy, as it would otherwise risk reproducing world-historical power asymmetries. To do so, we reconstruct Jürgen Habermas's cosmopolitical project from a hermeneutical-sociological perspective, which internally connects the cosmopolitanism of human rights to a cosmopolitics of the world order.

Keywords : cosmopolitanism; human rights; Jürgen Habermas; world order.
