Abstract

Within the social sciences cosmoplitanism has evolved since 1989 into a vibrant, interdisciplinary movement with its own distinctive research agenda. The contours of this movement are not always well defined and it is traversed internally by all kinds of fault lines; and yet the new cosmopolitanism is an identifiable current gravitating around a number of shared commitments. Besides, understanding the place and reflections of the notion today is possible by making a path to its historical roots. In this sense, Stoic Idea is a very important moment which is needed to be analysed. Because, the Stoic philosophy is the ideal of compounding the mankind under the roof of a cosmic/universal state; called Cosmopolis with the principle of universal equality that also, all stoic philosophers agreed on. Thusly, this study aims to bring out the views of the Cosmopolitanism as a concept in Stoic Idea.
