The cosmopolitan idea in Spanish Krausism and its influence on the progress of Spanish society

This work focuses on the historical inquiry of cosmopolitanism in the 19th -century Spanish thought of Krausist origin as a precursor in our country to the idea of global citizenship and cosmopolitan governance. It must be said that the Spanish Krausist thought of the late 19th century was crucial in the development of the social sciences in our country, being interested in law, sociology, psychology, political science, and, above all, education, while it was also decisive in the emergence of the first Spanish feminism. The objective of this work, therefore, has been none other than to show the importance of Krausist Hispanism in the development of cosmopolitanism, elucidating the scope of its influence in the most varied areas of life at the time, which gives it specificity and a unique relevance from a critical and historiographic point of view. The Krausists believed in a unified humanity, comprehensive and humanistic education and citizen participation. They advocated for an equitable and just society, the decentralization of power and collaboration between nations. They also promoted religious tolerance and intercultural dialogue.
