This paper engages with the topic of hospitality in its reading of Kant as a thinker of 'globality'; that is, as one who is keenly attuned to the various and complex ways humans strive to 'hospitalize' this planet in their attempts to transform it into a working and living environment. Despite having no illusions about actual international traders' practices, who all too often perpetuate injustices and commit crimes, he sets out a project for a different conception of commercium as a cultural practice which should remind us of the finite nature of our planet and its resources, and of our own vulnerable dependence on it. This account of a more enlightened 'spirit of trade', which is sensitive to cultural difference and environmental issues, is the product of a mobile way of thinking which would favour a more fluid communication with people on the move
