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

3.0

Maybe I came in with high expectations, but this book failed to impress. I moved through the book expecting him to more fully develop ideas he'd introduced but it never really happened. The two best chapters are found at the end. The rest of the chapters are mostly composed of thought experiments that, while interesting, didn't blow my mind or contribute greatly to the topic of cosmopolitan thought.

I like his writing style, I like his observations, and I'm convinced that he's an intelligent, amiable fellow, but the book failed to be the hermeneutic I was hoping it would be.
