Radical Enlightenment: Existential Kantian Cosmopolitan Anarchism, With a Concluding Quasi-Federalist Postscript–A Podcast.
By Robert Hanna and Scott Heftler
” Radical Enlightenment: Existential Kantian Cosmopolitan Anarchism, With a Concluding Quasi-Federalist Postscript,” Robert Hanna argues that that a highly original, politically radical, and if not revolutionary, then at least robustly State-resistant, State-subversive, and even outright civilly-disobedient cosmopolitan, existentialist version of anarchism that Hanna calls existential Kantian cosmopolitan anarchism, very naturally flows from Kant’s moral philosophy, his philosophy of religion, and his political anthropology. Roughly, the idea is that if we take Kant’s famous injunction to have the courage to use your own understanding, and apply this morally courageous act not merely to free speech, but also to our individual choices, our individual agency, and our shared social life, then the result is existential Kantian cosmopolitan anarchism.
