N2  - This article excavates certain hidden and suppressed moments in the ancient and modern history of cosmopolitanism. In contradistinction to mainstream cosmopolitanism, which generally reduces the concept to a liberal politics of global pacification, an essential agonism between cosmos and polis that is further reflected in the aporetic relation between freedom and law will be revealed. Cosmopolitanism is not only a philosophy of perpetual peace, it is also, paradoxically, a call to perpetual provocation.<p />
