Abstract:
As a flashpoint for specific instances of conflict, Muslim sartorial practices have at times been seen as being antagonistic to ‘‘western’’ ideas of gender equality, secularity, and communicative practices. In light of this, I seek to highlight the ways in which such moments of antagonism actually might be understood on ‘‘cosmopolitical’’ terms, that is, through a framework informed by a critical and political approach to cosmopolitanism itself.

I focus here on one of the dilemmas to be faced in taking cosmopolitanism seriously, namely, the difficulty of judging what is just in the context of an increasingly divergent public—and classroom—discourse about values, rights and equality. I propose in what follows that judgement cannot rely on any script, even one as attractive, perhaps, as cosmopolitanism. To explore what is at stake in making judgements in an educational context, I draw on both Hannah Arendt’s and Emmanuel Levinas’s notions of judgement and thinking. The paper discusses the educational significance of thought and judgement as conditions for reframing the ...
