Abstract

Thinkers such as Ulrich Beck or Peter Sloterdijk argue that the world is compact (that is, that in it action does not escape global systemic consequences). From this basis, I argue for the necessity of global citizenship, that is, of civilian political activism that transcends national boundaries. Bearing in my mind the difficulties to global citizenship outlined by Orion Kriegman, I propose that the idea of extended self, taken from Arne Naess’ Deep Ecology, can provide a basis for overcoming said difficulties.
