Notes

  1. As an example of the stance that makes Todd wary, see Waghid and Smeyers (2010) for a Cavellian discussion of the “failure” of humanity (p. 206).

  2. For other examples of cosmopolitan theorists negotiating the pluralism/universalism aporia, see Waks’s (2009) review of Appiah (2006), Burtonwood (2006), and Popkewitz (2008).
