Fremde in unserer Mitte

The topic of immigration raises significant socio-political, moral, and ethical questions that have been at the center of intense debates for some time. The renowned British philosopher David Miller defends a position in his book that lies between a strong cosmopolitanism, which advocates for unrestricted freedom of movement and open borders, and a blind nationalism that often devolves into blanket xenophobia and dull racism. In constant engagement with counterarguments, he develops his viewpoint, which aims to consider the rights of both immigrants and citizens – incorporating a weak cosmopolitanism as well as the right of nation-states to control their borders. Miller's goal is to propose an immigration policy for liberal democracies that is as just as possible and as realistic as necessary.
