"Cosmopolitans regard all the people of the earth as so many branches of a single family, and the universe as a state, of which they, with innumerable other rational beings, are citizens, promoting together under the general laws of nature the perfection of the whole, while each in his own fashion is busy about his own well-being."
I am not quite sure I am on board with this idea. It seems like they are suggesting we deny the very essence of what defines us, i.e. our social and cultural exposure. I don't think we need to detach ourselves from our culture but integrate our culture with the idea of a global community. I am probably just reading too much into what they are saying though :)
