<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Reviving the ancient philosophy of "Cosmopolitanism," a school of thought that dates to the Cynics of the fourth century BCE, Appiah traces its influence through history to show how Western intellectuals and leaders have wildly exaggerated the power of difference--and neglected the power of one.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Drawing on a broad range of disciplines, including history, literature, and philosophy--as well as the author's own experience of life on three continents--<em>Cosmopolitanism</em> is a moral manifesto for a planet we share with more than six billion strangers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>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"<br><br>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"<br><br>Elegantly provocative.--Edward Rothstein "New York Times"<br><br>[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.
