Cosmopolitanism, Identity & Semantics | Prof. Kwame A. Appiah

In this episode, Kwame Anthony Appiah and I explore identity, race, and culture. Prof. Appiah shares his backstory, growing up in Ghana and eventually living in the UK and the US, and his journey from medicine to philosophy. We discuss the philosophy of language, social ontology, cosmopolitanism, cultural values, race, and nationality, and how to maintain cultural identity while respecting each other’s differences—ending with ideas on global citizenship and peaceful coexistence.
