“…The terms orientation , outlook , and mode of being presuppose cosmopolitanism as a character disposition. Unlike skills that can be visibly taught and measured, dispositions are acquired through one's learning, experiences, and practices that contribute to long‐term character formation (Webber, ). - Openness to difference: Contemporary scholars have conceptualized new cosmopolitanism to counter an older, enlightenment view that perpetuates a universalism masking the values of Western modernity. Conversely, the idealized new cosmopolitan accommodates forms of belonging that are multiple rather than monolithic and embraces the hybrid identity of cosmopolitan patriotism (Appiah, ), in which one may remain connected to the values of one's community while being open to values from other cultures.
- Other‐centered: The goals of cosmopolitan ethics are not targeted at benefiting the market, a nation, or a specific community or institution.
