solitude sunday at the whimsey project. our day to spend time with a book. any book will do, however, focus on those long-waiting-to-be-read books already resting on the bookshelves.
having completed the music book during the week, i began cosmopolitanism by kwame anthony appiah. this volume about global ethics is one of the issues of our time series edited by henry louis gates, jr. thus far i have read the introduction which outlines the expansion and number of humans on the planet; how we evolved from small groups of people to the populated world of today. from knowing everyone within sight our entire lives to knowing relatively few people when considering the global scale of humanity, how should be function ethically in a world of strangers? i shall find out more during my next reading session.
what are you reading? share your book with the whimsey project.
