Educating for Cosmopolitanism :lessons from cognitive science and literature /Mark Bracher. - 1 online resource.

What is Cosmopolitanism, and How Can Education Promote It? -- How Cognitive Science Can Help Us Educate for Cosmopolitanism -- Correcting Ethnocentric Prototypes of Self and Other with Achebe's "Things Fall Apart" -- Developing Metacognition of Ethnocentrism with Lessing's "The Old Chief Mshlanga" and Voltaire's "Candide" -- Correcting Faulty General Person-Schemas with "Things Fall Apart", "The Old Chief Mshlanga," and "Candide" -- Developing Cosmopolitan Action Scripts with Camus's "The Guest" and Coetzee's "Disgrace".

Drawing on recent findings of cognitive science, Mark Bracher here employs widely taught literary texts to provide detailed demonstrations of how literary study can be used to develop cosmopolitanism, defined as a commitment to global justice. Cosmopolitanism, Bracher explains, is motivated by compassion for peoples who are distant and different from oneself, and compassion for them is dependent on perceiving their need, their deservingness, and their humanity. These perceptions are often prevented by faulty mindsets, or cognitive schemas, that can be corrected by the pedagogical practices described here.
