How the World Thinks: A Global History of Philosophy Audiobook (Free)

All cultures will vary, and have different ways of thinking. In How the Globe Feels, Julian Baggini travels the globe to provide a greatly wide-ranging map of human being thought. He displays us how unique branches of idea flowered simultaneously in China, India and Ancient Greece, growing from local myths and tales – and how contemporary cultural behaviour, with particular focus on the Western world, East Asia, the Muslim Globe and Africa, have developed out of the philosophical histories of their regions. Interviewing thinkers from all around the globe, he asks why, for instance, do our Western european systems of governments and justice differ so widely through the East? Why can Islam not really very easily incorporate secular understanding? Just how do we understand China? By attaining greater understanding of how others believe, we can become less specific of the data we believe we have, the first rung on the ladder to higher understanding.
