Abstract
The cosmopolitan ideals of constitutional protection ofequal basic freedoms go back to ancient Greek and Romanrepublicanism. In the Greek and Roman republics, they were realizedonly for a small part of the population (essentially male citizensowning property). Yet, as illustrated by Immanuel Kant’s theory ofconstitutional rights to equal freedoms and “cosmopolitanhospitality” as well as by the universal recognition of humanrights following World War II, cosmopolitan theories havecontributed to “normative learning processes” that havefundamentally changed the perception of national and internationallegal systems, notably their often discriminatory treatment and“exclusion of others” (e.g., through gender, racial and colonialdiscrimination).
