Cosmopolitanism

We are increasingly accustomed to think of mankind as divided between warring creeds, separated from one another by chasms of incomprehension. In <i>Cosmopolitanism</i>Kwame Anthony Appiah, one of the world's leading philosophers, challenges us to redraw these imaginary boundaries. <p>Reviving the ancient philosophy of Cosmopolitanism as a means of understanding the complex world of today, Appiah argues we concentrate too much on what makes us different rather than recognizing our common humanity. <i>Cosmopolitanism</i> confronts our preconceptions about Us and Them and aims to change the way we think. It is a moral manifesto for a planet of strangers.</p>
