Trata-se de mostrar que, para William Godwin, em sua obra Enquiry Concerning Political Justice, a questão das relações entre o indivíduo e a humanidade, ou entre as pequenas sociedades civis e a totalidade do gênero humano desenha uma forma de cosmopolitismo alternativo. Segundo o autor, é preciso agir em cada circunstância visando o bem de todos os homens, mas também e sobretudo se abrindo à união mais estreita com a “família humana”. Toda a questão é então, para Godwin, a de imaginar uma forma política que permita que o exercício individual e local da justiça tenha efeitos universais.
