Agreed. If you used cosmopolitanism to mean a citizen of the cosmos, then you would be getting closer to that original definition. I note the following comment on definitions on Wikipedia:
‘Definitions of cosmopolitanism usually begin with the Greek etymology of “citizen of the world”. However, as Appiah points out, “world” in the original sense meant “cosmos” or “universe”, not earth or globe as current use assumes.’
