Kok-Chor Tan argues that the cosmopolitan idea of global justice may be understood in such a way that it can accept nationalist and patriotic commitments. Tan believes that cosmopolitan justice need not deny the worth of the ordinary non-impartial values even as it defends a vision of global egalitarianism. Properly understood, it can set the limits for nationalist and patriotic efforts without denying the moral independence of these partial pursuits.
"On the whole, this is a solid introduction to cosmopolitanism and its apparent tensions with patriotism and nationalism." Mind, Thomas W. Pogge, Professorial Research Fellow, ANU Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics, Professor of Philosophy, Columbia University, and Professor II, University in Oslo
