Cultural and intellectual historian Anthony Pagden explains how, and why, the ideal of a universal, global, and cosmopolitan society became such a central part of the Western imagination in the ferment of the Enlightenment - and how these ideas have done battle with an inward-looking, tradition-oriented view of the world ever since. Cosmopolitanism is an ancient creed; but in its modern form it was a creature of the Enlightenment attempt to create a new 'science of man', based upon a vision of humanity made up of autonomous individuals, free from all the constraints imposed by custom, prejudice, and religion 648 7 1700-talet|2sao 648 7 1800-talet|2sao 650 0 Civilization, Western|y18th century 650 0 Civilization, Western|y19th century 650 0 Enlightenment 650 0 Philosophy, Modern|y18th century 650 0 Philosophy, Modern|y19th century 650 7 Historia|2sao 650 7 Upplysningen|2sao 650 7 Filosofi|2sao 650 7 Idé- och lärdomshistoria|2sao 650 7 Kosmopolitism|xidéhistoriska aspekter|2sao 650 7 Internationalism|xidéhistoriska aspekter|2sao 651 4 Europa 907 00 150527
