Abstract
The ideal of cosmopolitan citizen with global awareness has been discussed in the context of citizenship education (Osler & Starkey, 2005; Noddings, 2005). Cosmopolitanism as a philosophy developed during the Enlightenment, most notably by Immanuel Kant. Nowadays, the ethics of the world citizen can be seen as one possible implementation of Kant’s categorical imperative (Sihvola, 2004). Osler and Starkey (2005) identify a cosmopolitan citizenship informed by human rights as a goal of citizenship education. This kind of citizenship is a worldview that celebrates human diversity.
