Ideology of cosmopolitanism in the modern information society

The paper examines the phenomenon of cosmopolitanism in the modern world. The article presents the work of various theorists and political philosophers to develop the author's terminology for each of these concepts and integrate the subjectivist approach into these designations. Modern researchers have different approaches to the theory of cosmopolitanism and the idea of realizing world citizenship, which leads to actualization of the topic itself. And due to the fact that the topic of cosmopolitanism is polemical, the search for the foundations, nature, status of the cosmopolitan idea, and its interpretation, is currently becoming the main task of supporters of universal citizenship, while the goal of critics of the presented theory is a consistent critical analysis of modern projects and the idea of the world civil status itself. Aim. To identify the specifics of the ideology of "cosmopolitanism" and the critical characteristics of the utopian idea of "world citizenship". Object. Representation of political ideologies. Subject. The specifics of emergence and development of ideas of cosmopolitanism. Results. It is proved that the modern information society was created to implement the concept of cosmopolitanism and world citizenship. In the modern world, thanks to globalization, the lines between ethnic, confessional and cultural identity are blurred. There are prerequisites for a new citizenship – world citizenship. Conclusions. Two of the most obvious negative aspects of cosmopolitanism were identified, which give the ideology a utopian design: firstly, the loss of individualism and identity; secondly, the weakening of the national and cultural characteristics of a particular state that have been developing in this territory for centuries, adherents of patriotism treat cosmopolitan ideas negatively, believing that they undermine their values.
