Este estudo exploratório investiga a passagem da perspetiva jurídica do Direito cosmopolita
de Kant para a perspetiva cultural do cosmopolitismo de Appiah que debate sobre questões
de identidade, cultura, hospitalidade, diálogo intercultural, racismo, imigração. Deste modo,
esta dissertação demonstra que apesar de Appiah não ter realçado que a sua filosofia
cultural, social e política se funda numa teoria de identidade, entendemos que o ideal de
cosmopolitismo de Appiah é construído a partir de uma narrativa biográfica. Dando
seguimento às nossas pretensões, a nossa dissertação estará estruturada em três camadas que
foram construídas através da revisão bibliográfica: a primeira camada incidiu na análise do
Direito cosmopolita de Kant, que considera o indivíduo como cidadão do mundo
independentemente do Estado ao qual pertence. Entendemos que este é o ponto de partida
pelo qual Appiah retoma e enriquece o Direito cosmopolita de Kant na perspetiva cultural.
Por isso, na segunda camada, iremos mostrar como Appiah amplia o cosmopolitismo para
as dimensões cultural, política e social por meio da sua narrativa biográfica, sendo que
verificámos que esta narrativa biográfica é sustentada por uma trilogia de influências
culturais. Em rigor, esta camada de análise é caracterizada pela construção de um
cosmopolitismo de identidade. A obra fundamental utilizada foi In My Father's House:
Africa in the philosophy of culture (1993). Por fim, na terceira camada, apresentamos como
toda a filosofia social será fundamental para a conceção do ideal de cosmopolitismo de
Appiah nos planos cultural, político, filosófico e do Direito internacional. Esta camada foi
baseada na análise das obras: Cosmopolitan Patriots (1997) e Cosmopolitism: Ethics in a
World of Strangers (2006). Nessa ordem de contextualização, verificámos que o
cosmopolitismo de Appiah também representa uma renovação na teoria das relações
internacionais quanto ao ideal das relações entre Estado e indivíduos e entre Estado e outros
Estados. Em conclusão, esta dissertação demonstra que a reflexão de Appiah nos fornece
luzes para a indagação sobre problemas éticos, políticos, sociais e culturas atuais. O
cosmopolitismo de Appiah não é uma resposta às questões sobre a identidade, mas sim um
desafio e, também, uma aventura.
This exploratory study investigates the passage from Kant's legal perspective of cosmopolitan law to Appiah's cultural perspective of cosmopolitanism which discusses the issues of identity, culture, hospitality, intercultural dialogue, racism, immigration. Thus, this dissertation demonstrates that although Appiah has not emphasized that cultural, social and political philosophy is grounded on a theory of identity, we understand that Appiah's ideal of cosmopolitanism is constructed from a biographical narrative. Following our claims, our dissertation will be structured by three layers that were built through the literature review: the first layer is focused on the analysis of Kant's cosmopolitan law, it considers the individual as a citizen of the world regardless of the State to which he belongs. We understand that this is the starting point by which Appiah takes up and enriches Kant's cosmopolitan law from a cultural perspective. Therefore, in the second layer, we will show how Appiah extends cosmopolitanism to the cultural, political and social dimensions through his biographical narrative, and we have found that this biographical narrative is underpinned by a trilogy of cultural influences. Strictly speaking, this layer of analysis is characterised by the construction of a cosmopolitanism of identity. The fundamental work used was In My Father's House: Africa in the philosophy of culture (1993). Finally, in the third layer, we present how all social philosophy will be fundamental to the conception of Appiah's ideal of cosmopolitanism on the cultural, political, philosophical and international law levels. This layer was based on the analysis of the works: Cosmopolitan Patriots (1997) and Cosmopolitanism: Ethics in a World of Strangers (2006). In this order of contextualisation, we found that Appiah's cosmopolitanism also represents a renewal in international relations theory regarding the ideal of relations between State and individuals and between a State and other states. In conclusion, this dissertation demonstrates that Appiah's reflection provides us with lights for enquiry into current ethical, political, social and cultural problems. Appiah's cosmopolitanism is not an answer to questions about identity, but a challenge and also an adventure.
