Cosmopolitanism : Ethics in a World of Strangers

by Kwame Anthony Appiah
Cosmopolitanism : Ethics in a World of Strangers - Thryft
Cosmopolitanism : Ethics in a World of Strangers - Thryft

Embrace diversity and morality to unite humanity.

This book is a great read for anyone interested in ethics and philosophy, especially in relation to globalization and multiculturalism. Kwame Anthony Appiah argues that we can view ourselves as global citizens, rather than just members of our own nation or community, and that this perspective can lead to a more just and peaceful world. Appiah draws on his own experiences as a Ghanaian-British-American philosopher to provide a unique and insightful perspective on cosmopolitanism. Overall, this book is a thought-provoking and timely exploration of what it means to be a member of a global community.
