In this article, I contribute to the debate on Ulrich Beck's idea of ‘methodological cosmopolitanism’ from a political science perspective. How fruitful is Beck's idea for the study of world politics? How can a political science perspective turn ‘methodological cosmopolitanism’ into a more transdisciplinary subject of debate? Guided by these questions, I speak to two audiences. First, I offer political scientists a distinct strategy for empirical ‘cosmopolitan political science’ research. At the heart of this strategy is a novel object of research, the ‘cosmopolitan outlook’, understood as a discourse that breaks with the ‘national outlook’ to open possibilities for a world beyond ‘reflexive modernization’. With that, I shift the perspective from structure to discourse and broaden the normative grounds on which to assess cosmopolitan reality. Rather than just considering the emergence of normative cosmopolitan ideals, I build into cosmopolitan research the normative, empirical question of whether we see an emergence of a world beyond reflexive modernization. Second, I address scholars outside the field of political science who are interested in methodological cosmopolitanism by offering the ‘cosmopolitan outlook’ as a novel object of study that could also be explored from other disciplinary perspectives and by proposing they put the question of the purpose of methodological cosmopolitanism centre stage. This question can, I argue, constitute grounds for substantial debates on methodological cosmopolitanism not already precluded through disciplinary premises and concerns. Contributing to such a transdisciplinary debate, I distinguish between the long‐term and immediate purpose of methodological cosmopolitanism, the former being about the development of a cosmopolitan language and grammar and the latter about empirical explorations of the reality of the ‘cosmopolitan outlook’, eventually and in a collective and transdisciplinary endeavour building up to contribute to the former.

从不同的地方开始:方法论世界主义与世界政治研究

在本文中,我将从政治学的角度为关于乌尔里希·贝克(Elrich Beck)的“方法论世界主义”思想的辩论做出贡献。贝克的世界政治研究思想多么有成果?政治学的观点如何将“方法论世界主义”变成更具跨学科性的辩论主题?在这些问题的指导下,我与两个听众讲话。首先,我为政治科学家提供了一种进行实证性“大都会政治学”研究的独特策略。该策略的核心是一个新颖的研究对象,即“世界观”,这是一种与“民族观”相悖的话语,为“反身现代化”之外的世界打开了可能性。接着就,随即,我将视角从结构转向话语,并拓宽了评估世界大现实的规范基础。我不只是考虑规范性大都会理想的出现,而是将关于我们是否看到反身现代化之外的世界出现的规范性,实证性问题纳入国际研究。其次,我通过提供“世界观”作为一种新颖的研究对象,向政治学领域以外对方法论世界主义感兴趣的学者致辞,也可以从其他学科的角度对此进行探讨,并提出他们提出了关于“世界观”的目的的问题。方法论世界主义中心舞台。我认为这个问题可以 构成了关于方法论世界主义的实质性辩论的基础,而纪律前提和关注尚未排除这种辩论。在这种跨学科的辩论中,我区分了方法论世界主义的长期和直接目的,前者是关于一种世界性语言和语法的发展,后者是关于对“世界观”的现实的实证探索。并通过集体和跨学科的努力为前者做出贡献。
