Kant has taken seriously, as no one else in the history of philosophy did, the existence of extraterrestrials. Their central role in his thought allows for a new approach of cosmopolitanism, in a tight dialogue with Carl Schmitt. At stake is a geopolitics of the sensible.

—Peter Fenves:Among the vast body of scholarship that explores the Kantian theory of space, none does so with greater urgency, concision, and wit than Kant in the Land of Extraterrestrials. It is especially innovative not only in its examination of the theme of extraterritoriality but also in its staging of the confrontation between Kant and Schmitt over the origin and fate of so-called outer space.
“Regardless of whether Kant really believed in little green men, Kant in the Land of Extraterrestrials is a timely contribution to a bourgeoning field of inquiry.”
