Kwame Anthony Appiah: “The Lies That Bind: Rethinking Identity”

Affiliations such as gender, religion, race, nationality, class and culture shape our polarized world. Philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah (“Cosmopolitanism”), who pens the "Ethicist" column for the New York Times, in his new book “The Lies That Bind,” shows how identities are created by conflict and challenges our assumptions about how identities work. Raised in Ghana and educated in England, he has taught philosophy on three continents and is currently Professor of Philosophy and Law at New York University.
