Abstract: In a highly mobile and globalized world, it is significant to rethink cosmopolitanism by first looking into the issue of subjectivity. There exist three versions of cosmopolitanism: the universal cosmopolitanism, the particularized cosmopolitanism, and the critical/reflective cosmopolitanism. They differ mainly in how to treat the other or otherness. Critical/reflective cosmopolitanism is cosmopolitanism in its true sense, and the embodied cosmopolitanism is a new form of it. Embodied cosmopolitanism reflects the unity of globalization and localization. While it acknowledges otherness, it never adopts an absolute stance. The subject of embodied cosmopolitanism is the world citizen whose cosmopolitanism or globalness is achieved through an aesthetic appreciation of difference. Embodied cosmopolitanism means tolerance for otherness and suggests openmindedness, flexibility and adaptability of the embodied subject in a multicultural environment. It also reflects a new ethics, namely, the ethics of embodiment, in a world that is interconnected and mutually dependent.
