La menzogna dell'identità. Come riconoscere le false verità che ci dividono in tribù
Chi sei? È una domanda legata a un'altra domanda: cosa pensi di essere? Un genere. Una religione. Una razza. Una nazionalità. Una classe. Una cultura. Queste etichette producono identità collettive. Formano i contorni del senso che abbiamo di noi stessi e il perimetro del mondo che ci circonda. Eppure, sono piene di contraddizioni e di falsità. Tutti sappiamo che le identità portano conflitti. Ma Kwame Anthony Appiah dimostra qualcosa di più profondo e insidioso: sono i conflitti a creare le identità. La religione è innanzitutto una manifestazione del potere e non della fede. La razza, che oggi occupa lo spazio pubblico e pervade il linguaggio, è un residuo scellerato del Novecento. Il nostro concetto di sovranità nazionale è instabile e poco coerente. L'idea stessa dell'Occidente è un ideale vuoto. Appiah è nato a Londra, è cresciuto in Ghana e oggi vive negli Stati Uniti, dove è considerato nero. Con una esplorazione della storia e della natura delle identità che ci definiscono, decostruisce le etichette di cui ci serviamo per capire chi siamo, e che tuttavia possono trasformarsi in strumenti di discriminazione e di abuso del potere.

Captive Gods
Religion and the Rise of Social Science“Appiah asks us to think more carefully about what we mean when we call something a religion. . . . Among the writers who might serve as a guide through this difficult terrain, Appiah stands out for both his lucidity in exposition and his sure-footed style.”—Peter E. Gordon, New York Review of Books“Thoughtful and entertaining.”—Dominic Green, Wall Street Journal“In this stimulating intellectual history, Appiah . . . examines the central importance of the study of religion to the thinkers who established the modern social sciences. . . . A rich and enchanting work of scholarship.”—Publishers Weekly“An accessible, readable book that exhibits deep erudition and extensive learnedness worn lightly. Appiah has an eye for raising the biggest questions about human nature and social existence.”—Angie Heo, University of Chicago“In this elegant, witty, and often brilliant book, Anthony Appiah explores the fundamental significance of religion for modern development of the very idea of societies. The notion that there might be many religions to be explored comparatively shaped thinking of societies in similar plurality, exploring how religions gave them distinctive categories of thought and culture, how individuals were shaped by and dependent on these contexts, and what happened when they lost their grip.This is a rich and valuable work for all who would understand religion, social science, and modernity itself.”—Craig Calhoun, Arizona State University and Princeton University“In this characteristically brilliant and learned book, Anthony Appiah has given us a crucial account of the emergence of disciplines in which we seek to uncover how we form and reform our beliefs and values. It is a stunning and urgent inquiry—a masterpiece of intellectual history—and it could not arrive at a better time.”—Jorie Graham, author of To 2040 and [To] The Last [Be] Human“In Captive Gods, Appiah builds an incisive intellectual history of theories of religion and society through the minds and worlds of four giants. We see how the concepts of ‘religion’ and ‘society’ co-created each other in the early twentieth century. This is an exquisite work of reflection as we rethink those captive gods, thundering in our own time.”—Laurie L. Patton, president, American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and author, Who Owns Religion? Scholars and Their Publics in the Late Twentieth Century

Kozmopolitizm
Kozmopolitizm, ulusal topluluklarda oldugu gibi, insanlik toplulugunda da bir arada var olma aliskanliklari gelistirmemiz gerektigi seklindeki basit düsünceyle baslar Eski anlamiyla söylesi, birlikte yasama ve ortaklasma.Dünya nüfusunun 21. yüzyilin ortalarinda yaklasik dokuz milyara ulasmasi bekleniyor. Toplumlarin birbirinden bir bal petegi misali temiz ve düzgün bir sekilde ayrildigi bir dünya artik ciddi bir secenek degildir. Kacinilmaz son Ister hosumuza gitsin, ister gitmesin, yabancilarla diyalog artik bir zorunluluktur.Kwame Anthony Appiah, soyut görünen degerler ne kadar gercektir Farkliliktan söz ettigimizde neden bahsediyoruz Ahlak ile davranis ne zaman catisir Kültüre sahip olunabilir mi gibi sorulara, insanlarin yasamlarinda karsilastigi somut örneklerden yola cikarak samimi cevaplar ariyor. Bati düsünündeki biz ve onlar bölünmüslügüne dayali, farkliliklari öne cikaran yaklasimi reddediyor, medeniyetler catismasi tezine karsi diyalog kavramini ve kültürler arasi karsilikli anlayis fikrini ön plana cikararak kafalardaki bölünmüslügü biraz da olsun zorlastirmayi umuyor.

In Darfur
An Account of the Sultanate and Its People"In Darfur offers an interesting glimpse of a (still) neglected part of Africa, and a surprising wealth of information." (The Complete Review) "As edited, translated, and presented by Davies, al-Tūnisī's account is not only a rich primary source for the early nineteenth-century history of Darfur but also a literary gem marking Egypt's dynamic and innovative intellectual history at mid-century." (Journal of the American Oriental Society) "The translation is most readable and fluent, yet it also follows the text closely. The arrangement of Arabic and English side by side makes it extremely valuable for research, particularly for the historian, the Arabist, and for teaching purposes on the whole. If a reader with knowledge of Arabic is interested, s/he is able to consult the Arabic with ease ... This is the first published and complete English translation." (African Studies Review)

De leugens die ons binden
Een nieuwe kijk op indentiteit.Wie ben ik en waar hoor ik bij? We zijn man, vrouw, moslim, christen, zwart, wit – en daaraan ontlenen we onze eigenwaarde. Het zegt iets over onze dromen, verwachtingen en beperkingen, over onze familie, nationaliteit, cultuur en religie. Maar waarom gaan we op zoek naar bevestiging van een enkele identiteit, terwijl we bestaan uit meerdere? Bestsellerauteur Kwame Anthony Appiah schreef een opzienbarend boek over de identiteitspolitiek die onze huidige samenleving polariseert. We benadrukken maar al te graag de verschillen met anderen en de overeenkomsten met gelijkgestemden. Maar die generalisatie brengt ons niet verder, aldus wereldburger Appiah. Levendig en met veel persoonlijke anekdotes, historische, culturele en literaire voorbeelden ontleedt hij de verhalen die we onszelf vertellen – en hoe we op dat vlak verkeerd redeneren. Zo gaat religie lang niet alleen over geloof, gaan racistische gedachten terug op achterhaalde wetenschap en zijn we als mensen niet herleidbaar tot een paar benamingen, maar zijn we zoveel meer. Appiah presenteert met 'De leugens die ons binden' een nieuwe manier van denken, waardoor onze blik op onszelf en op onze gemeenschappen radicaal zal veranderen.
