ResetDoC - Dialogues on Civilizations
Abstract
This paper discusses issues of democracy beyond
state borders with particular attention to the problem
of peace and the advancement of a peaceful coexistence
among peoples and cultures. To make its case, it articulates
democratic cosmopolitanism in a moral-procedural branch
(Kantian model) and an ethico-ideological branch (Wilsonian
model), the former as an expression of indirect politics
or politics of judgment, and the latter as an expression
of direct politics or politics of the will. It resorts
to the former in order to argue for a process of economic
and communicative inter-action among peoples and individuals
as the means through which a moral sense of human value
and the culture of rights can grow beyond borders in
ways that are consistent with democratic principles.
