Dialogue and the New Cosmopolitanism

This book stands in opposition to the doctrine that might makes right and that the goal of politics is to establish domination rather than justice and the good life for all. Its chapters present conversations with Edward Demenchonok from a number of perspectives: philosophical, anthropological, cultural, and ethical.

Fred R. Dallmayr is professor emeritus of political science and philosophy at the University of Notre Dame.
