This paper looks at recent works by Jeremy Waldron and asks how useful Immanuel Kant’s discussion of cosmopolitan right is for contemporary theorizing about cultural interaction and indigenous peoples. Waldron uses Kant’s category of cosmopolitan right as a starting point for his own theorizing, but diverges from the particulars of Kant’s analysis. I question whether Waldron has properly reconstructed Kant’s category of cosmopolitan right. If Waldron is wrong about the presuppositions of cosmopolitan right, it undermines his ability to draw lessons from cosmopolitan right for the discipline of politics at the domestic state level. I maintain that the autonomy that Kant did actually recognize cuts against Waldron’s claims about the spirit in which Kant approached cultural interaction. In Kant’s description of cosmopolitan right, the free movement of travelers is potentially restricted as soon as indigenous peoples' collective ways of life would be threatened. I argue that theories of cosmopolitan right should avoid the dark side of hospitality, where the right to attempt commerce is confused with a right to commerce. In justifying his argument about the necessity of his version of the supersession thesis, Waldron tells a story about historical inevitability that could in effect justify past ‘wrongs.' Waldron's theory then wrongfully scrubs from existence the stains of injustice. Such are the potential pitfalls in adapting cosmopolitan right without maintaining Kant's anti-imperialist sentiments. |

| founding a legal State with force been always maintained the whole earth would still have been in a state of lawlessness. But such an objection would as little annul the conditions of Right in question as the pretext of the political revolutionaries that when a constitution has become degenerate it belongs to the people to transform it by force. This would amount generally to being unjust once and for all in order thereafter to found justice the more surely |
