The latter is increasingly associated with notions of vernacular cosmopolitanism or rooted cosmopolitanism, grounded in the realities of everyday life where an ethos of multiperspectivism has become embedded in peoples’s lives. For this reason cosmopolitanism is often taken to be an analytical approach in recent social science. Kurasawa identifies three analytical paradigms within cosmopolitan theory: formalism (focussed on intersubjective procedures of public deliberation to develop norms of universal moral equality), ethicism (focussed on the ethics of engagement with alterity), and materialism (focussed on the link between cosmopolitanism and global capitalism).
Piet Strydom’s chapter opens with an argument in favor of a weak naturalistic rather than either a strong naturalistic or a strong idealistic conception of the cognitive approach. Against this background, it seeks to clarify this approach by identifying the principal mechanisms operative in the process of constitution and organization of society: generative (new ideas and claims-making), relational (association), transformative (collective learning), and context-setting mechanisms (state, economy, civil society).
Deliberation, reason, and critique, to the extent that they become the basic content of politics, place intellectuals in a special position. Although there is a long tradition of discussing intellectuals as a social category in social theory, little of the earlier discussion reflected on the phenomenon of the public intellectual itself. From the time of Zola to the present, however, the forms of public intellectual assertion and presence have evolved, and a more serious discussion of the bearers of public reason, if that is what they are, is needed.
