There’s a review of Richard Nisbett’s The Geography of Thought in the NY Times today. The review isn’t very positive, with the main complaint being that the categories Nisbett uses, Western and East Asian are too broad to be interesting. Nisbett’s book has already been influential in philosophy, providing some motivation for Nichols, Stich, and Weinberg’s, paper Metaskepticism: Meditations in Ethno-Epistemology.
