Introduction -- 1. Plural Discourse Communities as Point of Departure -- PART I: A CRITICAL AND MULTIDIMENSIONAL APPROACH -- 2. The Transformations of the Critical Tradition -- 3. Discourse Philosophy as a Critical Framework -- PART II: COMMUNITIES, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND COSMOPOLITAN IDEALS -- 4. Individuality and Collectivity in Changing Concepts of Community -- 5. From Plurality to Global Human Rights Discourses -- 6. Cosmopolitan Ideals and the Norms of Universality -- 7. Cosmopolitan Communities under Construction -- Conclusion.

"Building Cosmopolitan Communities" contributes to current cosmopolitanism debates by evaluating the justification and application of norms and human rights in different communitarian settings in order to achieve cosmopolitan ideals. Relying on a critical tradition that spans from Kant to contemporary discourse philosophy, Nascimento proposes the concept of a "multidimensional discourse community." The multidimensional model is applied and tested in various dialogues, resulting in a new cosmopolitan ideal based on a contemporary discursive paradigm. As the first scholarly text to provide an interdisciplinary survey of the theories and discourses on human rights and cosmopolitanism, "Building Cosmopolitan Communities" is a valuable resource to scholars of philosophy, political science, social theory, and globalization studies.
