This problem, put simply, recognizes the reality that, currently, the global population has little appetite for redistributing resources or for otherwise changing behaviours and practices so as to realise cosmopolitan principles. There are two different versions of this problem. In one, it is assumed that cosmopolitan principles are widely accepted and yet are not being acted upon; the problem is thus largely one of moral motivation (Dobson, 2006; Lenard, 2010). In another version, the problem is not simply one of motivation, but also that cosmopolitan principles are in fact not widely accepted in the first place (Miller, 2000). This problem, in both its forms, is a critical one for cosmopolitan theory, because those who defend cosmopolitan principles consider themselves to be engaged in a normative pursuit, which entails those principles being feasibly realizable. The cosmopolitan solidarity problem imperils the normativity of cosmopolitanism, because it raises the concern that humanity being guided by cosmopolitan principles may in some sense be infeasible.      <\/p>\n\n<p>My year as a Normative Orders Postdoctoral Fellow will be spent investigating theoretical questions that arise in relation to the cosmopolitan solidarity problem, to include: <br\/>&#8211; In which ways can global solidarity be conceptualised? In other words, which theoretical possibilities for turning the global population toward acceptance of cosmopolitan principles and\/or motivating action in accordance with those principles have been &#8211; and can be &#8211; offered? <br\/>&#8211; What are the institutional preconditions that these various conceptualizations bring with them?<br\/>&#8211; Which, if any, appear to have morally troubling consequences?<br\/>&#8211; Which, if any, appear in the end to be a promising theoretical response to the cosmopolitan solidarity problem<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Events:<\/strong><br\/><em>July 11, 2016, 6-8pm<\/em><br\/>Lecture within the IGP Colloquium<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research Project:Cosmopolitanism and global solidarity Abstract:Cosmopolitanism faces a problem that has to date not been adequately confronted, namely the cosmopolitan solidarity problem.
