In Solo, Raphael Sassower takes his readers on a remarkable personal and philosophical journey. Interweaving intimate observations and intellectual meditations, he takes snapshots of amazing places and a specific moment of academic debate, while offering a meaningful and moving tour of some of the central questions of Western thought. In the wake of the Arab Spring and amid the ongoing global financial crisis, he provides valuable insights into the meaning of globalization, the contours of development, and the notion of the third world.
