Kwame Anthony Appiah, professor of philosophy and law at New York University, "The Ethicist" for The New York Times Magazine and author of Cosmopolitanism: Ethics in a World of Strangers (W. W. Norton, 2006) and As If: Idealization and Ideals (Harvard University Press, 2017), answers listeners' ethical conundrums and philosophizes on today's news.

"It alarms me when people don't recognize what I think is the most important theoretical fact of identity, which is that they belong to all of us," said Appiah.
