Polylog: Forum for Intercultural Philosophy 2 (2000). Appiah, who pens the The Ethicist column for the New York Times Magazine, will discuss the changing ways work fits into the main ethical project: making a life. Translation from the German by Eva Mäkler. New York University Professor Kwame Anthony Appiah will deliver The Ethics of Work, the Spring 2021 Virtual Bentson Dean’s Lecture, on Wed., March 3, 5:30 p.m. His concern – and here he cites Kwasi Wiredu – is to show, that so-called "African" problems are only to be solved if they are understood to be human problems after all – depending only on specific situations, not on a basic difference between people (see 136). To mention furthermost are his brilliant analyses of examples of racism and his plige for a new, non-racist panafricanism as well as his profound discussion of the theories of traditional religions (old gods, new worlds) in a post-modern context, where he convincingly shows the limits of symbolist interpretation of religion. Kwame Anthony Appiah, Professor of African-American Studies in Harvard, addresses in this well arranged collection of revised essays a broad variety of African issues. Profesor Appiah is perhaps best known for My Fathers House: Africa in the Philosophy of Culture, which received the Herskovitz Award of the African Studies. New York – Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1992.
