Institutionaland cultural cosmopolitanism are interrelated, by advocating and concerning for the common interests and values of individuals and human beings at one time. As two research approaches of contemporary western cosmopolitanism, institutional and cultural show their own unique philosophical origins, main proposals and generated paths respectively. From the perspectiveof philosophical origins, institutional cosmopolitanism absorbed the essence of Stoicism, while cultural cosmopolitanism turned to cynicism to some extent. On the main proposals, institutional cosmopolitanism focuses on the deconstruction and reorganization of nationstate, and hopes to build a multilevel global governance system in order to form a new global order, but yet cultural cosmopolitanism pays more attention to individual cultural choice, coexistence of multi cultures and tolerance of cultural differences. On the path of generating, the success of EU, the reflection of modernity, as well as the rise of new institutionalism, constitute the practice and theoretical basis of institutionalcosmopolitanism, while cultural cosmopolitanism is brought about by the theory of immigration and theory of cultural citizenship. Nevertheless, institutional and cultural cosmopolitanism are consistent in realizing individual value care and shaping global culture and global order all along.
