resurgence of cosmopolitanism during the
Enlightenment is made up of many factors: The
increasing rise of capitalism and world-wide
trade and its theoretical reflections; the reality
of ever expanding empires whose reach
extended across the globe; the voyages around
the world ...

human beings are members of a single
community. Its adherents are known as

regardless of their location.
Four Types of
Cosmopolitanism
It then explores four distinct cosmopolitan
position — that is, legal cosmopolitanism,
social-justice cosmopolitanism, monistic
cosmopolitanism, and ethical
cosmopolitanism.
Greek and Roman
Cosmopolitanism
The political culture idealized in the
writings of Plato and Aristotle is not
cosmopolitan.

In this culture, a man identifies himself
first and foremost as a citizen of a
particular polis or city, and in doing so;
he signals which institutions and which
the body of people hold his allegiance.

He would be counted on for help in defending the
city from attacks, sustaining institutions of justice,
and contributing to its common good. By contrast,
the good person would not be expected to share
with or serve any foreigners who live outside the

state.

Cosmopolitanism
We should understand cosmopolitanism in the following
way : listen to the needs of your country, heed the
wisdom of your people, dedicate yourself to their
wellbeing, don’t hate and don’t envy their happiness,
don’t prevent other nations from achieving their
goals. Work towards the day when no one will
subjugate your nation and work for its progress until its
equals the leading nations of the world.
Seven Types of Patriotism
Extreme Patriotism
- Takes thing personally and is unable to
distinguish between objective task and emotional
engagement. Hiring, services, and even voting, he
leverages personal contact and gives favor to
family and friends. This leads to the graft and
corruption that is prevalent in Philippine society.
Robust Patriotism
- There is no morality as such; morality is always
the morality of a particular community. One can
understand and internalize moral rules only “in
and through the way of life of ones community”
Moderate Patriotism
- Is not exclusive. Its adherent will show special
concern for his country and compatriots, but that will
not prevent him from showing concern for other
countries and their inhabitants. Moreover, this kind of
patriotism allows for the possibility that under certain
circumstances the concern for human beings in general
will override the concern for ones country and
compatriots.
Deflated Patriotism
-A debt of gratitude is the most commonly cited
basis for one to be patriotic. Socrates also
belongs to this fabric of thought and holds that
our country has done much for us by giving us
life, liberty, language and identity, etc. so it's
only just that such debt must be repaid.
Ethical Patriotism
- A patriot of this, distinctively ethical type, would wan
to see justice done, rights respected, human
solidarity at work at any time and in place. But her
patriotism would be at work in a concern that her
country be guided by these moral principles and
values which is more sustained and more deeply felt
than her concern that these principles and values
should be put into practice generally.
Exclusive Patriotism
- Exclusive patriotism celebrates the
acquisitive individual and lone entrepreneur.
It tells us that taxes on patriotism on the
wealthy slow economic growth and deter
innovation.
Inclusive Patriotism
-Inclusive patriotism has always sought to
protect our democracy – defending the right to
vote and seeking to ensure that more
Philippinines are heard. Inclusive patriotism is
our national creed. It is born of hope. Mean-
spirited, exclusive patriotism is new to our
shores. It is born of fear.
Why Patriotism Is So
Important ?

Nation

more individuals who express their patriotic feelings, the
stronger our country will be as a whole. Those who are patriotic
will do what is right for our nation in the way of supporting
efforts to make the country stronger and come together as a
combined group with a common goal.
A Patriotic Spirit is One of Fortitude
