Cosmopolitanism

Ethics In A World Of Strangers

BY KWAME ANTHONY APPIAH
Cosmopolitan canopies are urban spaces that offer a break from the tensions of chafing racial and economic differences, a place for diverse peoples to assemble and rub elbows. Elijah Anderson looks at such spaces in Philadelphia, including Reading Terminal Market and Rittenhouse Square detailing the give-and-take of public interaction. He observes how close and far away people sit, whether they greet each other, how deep or long their interactions are, and whether they break or reinforce barriers. He also chronicles the daily shifting of space used by the homeless, workers, residents, and commuters as they encounter, interact, and evade.

Knowing The Mystery Of Life Within

Selected Writings Of Isaac Penington In Their Historical And Theological Context

SELECTED AND INTRODUCED BY MELVIN KEISER AND ROSEMARY MOORE
Isaac Penington's writings provide a special insight into the turbulent mid-17th century. In his long struggle for "fullness of life" he produced some of the most profound spiritual counsel in Quaker literature. Part I is Isaac Penington's life in its historical context, through his letters to other Quakers transcribed from manuscript, and Part II presents his spirituality and thought with extracts from published works. With extensive commentary in each part, this is a more comprehensive representation of Penington's writings than ever before, designed to make the manner and substance of his thinking accessible in the 21st century to readers interested in early Quaker thought.
