Anthony Appiah on Cosmopolitanism
Is there enough in common between all human beings to warrant a universal ethical system? Can we be both citizens of the world and yet at the same time preserve what makes us different from each other? Anthony Appiah is not afraid of some of the toughest ethical issues that face us. In this interview for Philosophy Bites he defends what he has labelled 'Cosmopolitanism' an ethical position he has developed in greater detail in his book of the same name.
Greetings,
I am glad I found your podcast. Surely keep up the good work. I am a philosophy professor in MD and find that your site is of useful instructional value.
Know that people are tuning in.
Two notes:
(1) It would have been nice to hear Appiah include falliablism into his podcast, as he does in his text.
(2) Do you all have any plans to talk about the relationship between Egypt and Greek philosophy and/or Africana philosophy?
