Cosmopolitanism by Kwame Anthony Appiah
A brilliant and humane philosophy for our confused age.Samantha Power, author of A Problem from Hell
"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
