Interdisciplinary in its methodology and compass, with a strong comparative European dimension, the volume examines discourses ranging from literature, historiography, music and opera to anthropology and political philosophy. It makes an original contribution to the study of 18th-century ideas of universal peace, progress, and wealth as the foundation of future debates on cosmopolitanism. At the same time, it analyses examples of counter-reaction to these ideas and discusses the relevance of the Enlightenment for subsequent polemics on cosmopolitanism, including twenty-first century debates in sociology, politics, and legal theory. David Adams is Professor of French Enlightenment Studies, University of Manchester. Galin Tihanov is the George Steiner Professor of Comparative Literature at Queen Mary, University of London.
