Abstract

The objective of the paper is to link the
philosophical debate on cosmopolitanism
developed between Jürgen Habermas, Thomas
Pogge and Cristina Lafont with the current
process of transformation of the European
Union that is generated from the crisis
of COVID 19. We analysed the tensions
between the national identities and human
rights; the moral legitimacy of global and
continental taxes is debated; the tensions
between state and supra-state sovereignty are
questioned, and, finally, the discussion about
the limits that define what is fair and the justice
in the so-called: “New Generation of the
EU”.
