The Fourth Phase the Cosmopolis.

[Lion.Kanzen]

Why the name?

The polis was the city-state. It is a small order in the midst of external chaos. The polis, because of its scale, is overtaken by the tide of the cosmopolis.

 

The Greek philosophers had spoken of the cosmopolis, the “world-city” in which all individuals are related to one another, regardless of country, race, or religion. But with the coming of the Hellenistic age.

The idea of a cosmopolis is also used to describe cities or regions that have a global influence and act as centers of cultural and economic exchange.

So if the second phase is a polis and the third a big city, the fourth should be a cosmopolitan city.

In ancient times, the term "cosmopolis" referred to a city that was considered "universal" or "global," that was the center of a culture and that often attracted people from all over the known world. In ancient Greece, the term "cosmopolis" was used to describe cities such as Athens, which were considered the center of culture and civilization. Similarly, in ancient Rome, the city of Rome was considered a cosmopolis because of its political, cultural and economic importance in the Mediterranean world. In the Ancient Ages, the term "cosmopolis" was used to describe cities that were the center of cultural and social life and attracted people from all over the known world.

Alexandria was one of the most important cities of antiquity and is considered a cosmopolis because of the diversity of cultures, languages and religions that coexisted there. Founded by Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC, it became the capital of the Ptolemaic Kingdom and one of the main commercial and cultural centers of the Mediterranean world.

The city had an important library and museum, where scientists, philosophers and literati from different parts of the world met to exchange knowledge and develop new ideas. In addition, Alexandria was an important port connecting the Mediterranean with the Red Sea and India, making it a meeting point for diverse cultures and civilizations.

Alexandria was also an important religious center, as it was home to various temples and sacred sites of different religions, including the cult of Serapis, a syncretic god that combined elements of Egyptian and Greek religion.
