I defend a cosmopolitan conception of philosophy. I construct a typology of cosmopolitan philosophical skill around a division into seven categories: assimilative, autonomous, comparative, diasporist, imperious, bicultural, and interjacent. I also try to begin to think through what kinds of reform of the academy will best serve to create institutions that foster the skills I identify as most helpful for philosophical progress. My paper is a reflection on what the profession of philosophy must be in a culturally polycentric world, and on what new models of institutionalisation will best serve it in the future.
