Book Reviews of Cosmopolitanism: Ethics in a World of Strangers (Issues of Our Time)

Book Review: Profound idea delivered in a mediocre vehicle
Summary: 4 Stars

Just read the last chapter.

The book does a lot of 'setting-up' the idea of Cosmopolitanism which is probably the sign of a master philosopher or work of philosophy but what really makes the book and idea useful and worthwhile is the last chapter that ties the ideas of Cosmopolitanism into practical philosophy.

Very provocative but you could literally skip to the last chapter and get 80% of the book's value
