A review by brynhammond
Cosmopolitanism: Ethics in a World of Strangers by Kwame Anthony Appiah
4.0
3.5. With reservations.
I chased up a book by him on the strength of this more topical talk: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b081lkkj
also written up in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/nov/09/western-civilisation-appiah-reith-lecture
It's one of the book's arguments from another angle: to make an idol of Western Civ is to ignore the interpenetration of cultures.
