The concept of world citizen is not unique to contemporary society. It has been examined and proposed by a variety of philosophers since antiquity, such as ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes and the father of modern philosophy, Immanuel Kant. Today, cosmopolitanism is drawing increasing attention as a framework for addressing the challenges of contemporary society. These challenges include rapid globalization, advances in science and technology, and the spread of information.
Re-examining World Citizenship Education through philosophy, anthropology, education, post-humanism, and related fields ensures that it is not reduced to a mere slogan or tool. Instead, it connects to the broader question of how to approach human formation in an increasingly diverse and unpredictable world. From this perspective, this division seeks to explore the very concept of the world citizen, aiming to envision new ways of human formation and education in future societies.
