Cosmopolitan morality as an element of a democratic global governance and global citizenship

Summary/Abstract: Cosmopolitan ethics has been an element of philosophical thought since the school of Skeptics in late antiquity, but also from Socrates who said "I am neither an Athenian nor a Greek but a citizen of the World". But in the 21st century, how can this thought be integrated into the context of a morality that will characterize people's behavior and can form the foundation of a democratic global governance, based on international institutions of mutual understanding and common legislation procedures? Global problems and their treatment require a common view from individual societies and nations, but in the context of a concept of democracy that will be based on the concept of equality, solidarity and brotherhood as elements of this new morality and at the same time will be qualities of a "citizen of the world", having as a main criterion the sustainability of our planet. “Cosmopolites de tous les pays encore un effort !” Jacques Derrida
