Abstract
In this paper I characterize and evaluate an argument David Miller develops against cosmopolitan conceptions of international justice. Miller argues that cosmopolitan justice is too demanding and so it can be discharged only by «heroes» but not by regular people. On this basis, Miller alleges that principles of distributive justice can only have a domestic scope and cannot be extended to encompass the globe. I argue that the psychological considerations developed by Miller are insufficient to warrant the abandoning of cosmopolitanism and justify the adoption of liberal nationalism.

Summary
En este trabajo caracterizo y evalúo críticamente uno 2 de los argumentos que David Miller formula contra la posición cosmopolita. Sobre la base de las consideraciones psicológico-morales recién mencionadas, Miller sostiene que deberíamos rechazar la tesis cosmopolita de que las consideraciones de justicia distributiva tienen un alcance global. Mi conclusión será que las consideraciones introducidas por Miller no ofrecen mayores razones para abandonar al cosmopolitismo y adoptar al nacionalismo en cuestiones de justicia distributiva internacional. En la sección 3 desarrollo las consideraciones basadas en la teoría internalista de psicología moral introducidas por Miller para justificar su rechazo del cosmopolitismo. A mi juicio, las consideraciones psicológico-morales introducidas por Miller son insuficientes para considerar que el cosmopolitismo sea una concepción de la justicia distributiva errada o irrazonable.
