All cultures will vary, and have different ways of thinking. In How the Globe Feels, Julian Baggini travels the globe to provide a hugely wide-ranging map of human being thought. He shows us how specific branches of philosophy flowered concurrently in China, India and Ancient Greece, developing from local myths and tales – and exactly how modern cultural behaviour, with particular attention to the Western world, East Asia, the Muslim World and Africa, have developed from the philosophical histories of their regions. Interviewing thinkers from all over the globe, he asks why, for instance, do our Western european systems of government authorities and justice differ so widely from your East? Why can Islam not really conveniently incorporate secular understanding? How do we understand China? By getting greater knowledge of how others think, we can become less specific of the knowledge we think we have, the first rung on the ladder to greater understanding.
