The implications of this cultural project and the objections it faces from those that claim that cosmopolitan attitudes cannot and should not take priority over the special moral regard we give to those closest to us - friends, family, locality, nation - is powerfully explored in Martha Nussbaum, For Love of Country: Debating the Limits of Patriotism, Boston 1996.
