English summary: Are cosmopolitan ideals just wishful thinking today? Seyla Benhabib takes a historical and conceptual perspective in her approach to the paradoxes of equality and difference in the philosophy of the modern Western world. Proceeding from autobiographical reflections, she presents episodes in the cultural and political experiences of German-speaking Jews and their answers to the dilemmas of equality and difference, self-determination and assimilation. Reflections by Leopold Lucas, Moritz Goldstein, Hans Kelsen, Leo Strauss and Hannah Arendt help her to examine the paradoxical political experience in the modern nation state in view of the hybridity of cultural identities and achievements. Benhabib's central concepts here are "hospitality" as a reference to our own foreignness and problematic diversity, the jurisgenerative power of cosmopolitan norms and the idea of democratic iterations as processes of shaping politics through the law. German description: Sind kosmopolitische Ideale heute frommes Wunschdenken? Historisch und begrifflich nahert sich Seyla Benhabib der Paradoxie von Gleichheit und Differenz im Denken der westlichen Moderne. Ausgehend von autobiographischen Reflexionen prasentiert sie Episoden der kulturellen und politischen Erfahrungen des deutschsprachigen Judentums und seine Antworten auf die Dilemmata von Gleichheit und Differenz, Souveranitat und Assimilation. Die unterschiedlichen Reflexionen Leopold Lucas` oder Moritz Goldsteins, Hans Kelsens, Leo Strauss` oder Hannah Arendts helfen, die paradoxe politische Erfahrung im modernen Nationalstaat angesichts der Hybriditat kultureller Identitaten und Leistungen zu reflektieren. Benhabibs zentrale Konzepte hierbei sind "Hospitalitat" als Verweis auf unsere eigene Fremdheit und problematische Vielfalt, die jurisgenerative Kraft kosmopolitischer Normen und die Idee demokratischer Iterationen als Prozesse der Ausformung des Politischen durch Recht.
