Drawing on recent findings of cognitive science, Mark Bracher here
employs widely taught literary texts - including Achebe's Things
Fall Apart, Voltaire's Candide, Camus's "The Guest," and Coetzee's
Disgrace - to provide detailed demonstrations of how literary study
can be used to develop cosmopolitanism, defined as a commitment to
global justice. Cosmopolitanism, Bracher explains, is motivated by
compassion for peoples who are distant and different from oneself,
and compassion for them is dependent on perceiving their need,
their deservingness, and their humanity. These perceptions are
often prevented by faulty mindsets, or cognitive schemas, that can
be corrected by the pedagogical practices described here.
