Cosmos and chaos are no longer associated with the ‘order versus disorder’ dichotomy. Chaos is now valorized in educational theory, cosmopolitan and other, as a creative force and disorderly order that transforms the world and its education. However, the ambiguous politics of chaos has not been investigated. The present paper engages precisely with the neglected cosmo-politics of chaos and illustrates it with the example of the situation in Gaza, the students’ mobilization in the US and the term, and reality, of scholasticide in Palestine. I aim to show why works on cosmopolitanism, education and chaos should not ignore geo-political injustices and political complexities. My argument is that the valorization of the chaos metaphor obscures the complex ethico-politics that a worthy cosmopolitan education requires
