Kwame Anthony Appiah: The Lies That Bind

[@danielbrockerttravel]

I love the book. He's my favorite philosopher on identity issues.

This is so interesting. I'm about to buy the book, so I thought I'd have a listen to what he has to say about it first.

I've yet to read a single thing this man has written that isn't chilling. He's a deep-dyed misogynist, a monument of self-absorption. How he has so many intellectuals snowed I'll never understand, but I assume there'll be one of those "oh, how could he, we had no idea, now what'll we do with all these books of his" moments at some point.

Oooooh please elaborate! I'm new to him so I'm sussing him out. I'd really like to hear more on what you've shared,please.ive only read a guardian article he wrote about western civilization. Spill the tea!

Funny :) I made a vid 13 years ago about how "the west" is more a mental "wafer" easily deconstructed and appropriable by whoever wants to use that panidentity for whatever purpose:) I told my son : Take Hilbert or Rousseau, Or Ibn Khaldun or Einstein or Socrates... A Chilean or a papu or an Inuit or a Senegalese ..can appropriate the heritage of those masters if he or she masters their field of speciality..more than any German, Muslim ( arab or persian or amazigh etc) or french ..or greek who did not have any interest in studying those :)
