Philosopher and author writing on identity, ethics, and cosmopolitanism
We must speak about identities carefully, recognizing both their importance and their constructed nature
We live by useful fictions that structure our experience
We can be both scientific and spiritual
Cosmopolitanism requires us to recognize our obligations to people everywhere
Identity is not something fixed and essential; it is constructed and contextual
Religion can be identity, practice, and creed all at once
Ethics demands that we look beyond our own communities
