Momoyama-gakuin University aims primarily at fostering the cosmopolitans embracing Christianity who participate actively in the international affairs and contribute much to the community of nations so that build a new dimension of the cosmopolitan culture. But, why is the word 'cosmopolitan' connected with Christianity and what does it imply in the contexts of university curriculum? What at all is the origin of the word 'cosmopolitan' which might not always be positively evaluated? In regard to these questions, in a series of papers, I would like to delineate some significant circumstances concerning the origins and the essence of 'cosmopolitan' and 'cosmopolitanism.' The present paper in speciality examines some cosmopolitan characters in Marcus Aurelius, Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus, and Aurelius Augustinus and tries to classify the ideas of cosmopolitanism into four types which run parallel to the four categorical propositions in the traditional formal logic.
