All cultures are different, and have different ways of thinking. In
How the World Thinks, Julian Baggini travels the globe to provide a
hugely wide-ranging map of human thought. He shows us how distinct
branches of philosophy flowered simultaneously in China, India and
Ancient Greece, growing from local myths and stories - and how
contemporary cultural attitudes, with particular attention to the
West, East Asia, the Muslim World and Africa, have developed out of
the philosophical histories of their regions. Interviewing thinkers
from all around the world, he asks why, for instance, do our
European systems of governments and justice differ so widely from
the East? Why can Islam not easily incorporate secular knowledge?
How do we understand China? By gaining greater knowledge of how
others think, we can become less certain of the knowledge we think
we have, the first step to greater understanding.
