Editor's note: Most definitions of '''cosmopolis''' refer to what is effectively a large ''metropolis'', and though there may be a handful of 'great' cities in this world, including their 'universities' none even remotely qualify as a 'universe city' let alone a universal city. Nevertheless, this does not preclude cultivating an appreciation for the history of this idea that is served well by Stephen Toulmin's book, '''''Cosmopolis: The Hidden Agenda of Modernity''''' ISBN 0226808386 (see also ''An Intellectual Odyssey'' [http://books.google.com/url?id=GJXIAAAACAAJ&q=http://www.neh.gov/news/humanities/1997-03/wartofsk.html&usg=AFQjCNFw5C3xhG52Rbdc2Rr6GJUeISzhdw])
