In the ideas of the Cynics, the concept of kosmopolites is paradoxical in that it is supposed to juxtapose the limited order of the polis and the wider cosmological order. The kosmopolites was a citizen of the natural order; a citizen of the whole, not of any part. This original cosmopolitanism is radically different from what is termed cosmopolitanism today', in that Cynic cosmopolitanism was not a critique of patriotism, nor all attempt to move citizenship onto the terrain of the global, but an invitation to explore one's animal nature and thus to move closer to the Gods
