In the following pages, I don’t discuss the philosophy of natural law, but the opposite philosophy: the philosophy
of a new historicism, in which all the ideals of law and politics are still strong and alive, when are denied.
Two examples: the hospitality and the overcoming of cosmopolitism. Sub 1. Everybody has the right to
present himself as a guest. Everybody has the duty to give hospitality. Sub 2. The cosmopolitism isn’t far
from his negation. And the negation, in terms of theoretic and practical philosophy of law and politics, refuses
the particularity without universality and the universality without particularity: two abstractions, if disunited.
