ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on literature from social and political thought, philosophy, and feminist care ethics and argues that cosmopolitan citizens should engage in a threefold form of care: care for the self, care for others, and care for the world. Care for the self should cultivate the ability/virtue of individuals to think about their own lives as being an expression of freedom that is unavoidably intertwined with the lives of others and with care for them. The aim of the cosmopolitan care for others is to contribute to their flourishing and well-being, thus empowering them to become participants in global forms of dialogue about one shall care about as global citizens. The feminist ethics of care began arguing for the relevance that networks of care and responsibility have on a transnational and global level for issues related to justice, human rights, and human security; in short, for cosmopolitan care.
