Individual and Cosmocitizen

As is clear in Logic, 'Individual' is a Quantifier, and, hence, grammatically, it is a modifier that presupposes a type that it quantifies.  Accordingly, any concept of 'the individual' qua independent of any collective category is fictional.  So, for example, the concept of an inherent antithesis between Individual Right and General Good is inadequate insofar as it abstracts from an Individual's membership in some other Genus.  Now, Hume and Kant each implicitly expresses recognition of such superficiality.  The former's concept of Self, usually overshadowed by his image of 'bundle', is based on identification with some more or less localized collective with whom one sympathizes, while for the latter, the only constitutive concept of the 'I' is an instantiation of the Universal 'Practical Rational Being'.  Accordingly, a primary challenge to the cultivation of Cosmocitizenship, which, as has been previously discussed, is a significant dimension of ongoing Globalization, is not to reconcile 'the individual' with an incipient world order--it is to loosen entrenched identification with less comprehensive groups, e. g. Race, Nation, Religion, etc.  To that end, for example, stoking nationalistic fervor is counter-productive, and is inconsistent with Pluralistic foreign policy.
