Cosmopolitanism Reviews

A welcome attempt to resurrect an older tradition of moral and political reflection and to show its relevance to our current condition. -- John Gray - The Nation
Cosmopolitanism is... of wide interest-invitingly written and enlivened by personal history.... Appiah is wonderfully perceptive and levelheaded about this tangle of issues. -- Thomas Nagel - The New Republic
Elegantly provocative. -- Edward Rothstein - New York Times
[Appiah's] belief in having conversations across boundaries, and in recognizing our obligations to other human beings, offers a welcome prescription for a world still plagued by fanaticism and intolerance. -- Kofi A. Annan, former United Nations secretary-general
[Appiah's] exhilarating exposition of his philosophy knocks one right off complacent balance.... All is conveyed with flashes of iconoclastic humor. -- Nadine Gordimer, winner of the 1991 Nobel Prize in Literature
An attempt to redefine our moral obligations to others based on a very humane and realistic outlook and love of art.... I felt like a better person after I read it, and I recommend the same experience to others. -- Orham Pamuk, winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature
