Everyone knows that while different cultures may think about the world differently, they use the same equipment for doing their thinking. But what if everyone is wrong? As Richard Nesbitt shows, people actually think about -- and even see -- the world differently because of differing ecologies, social structures, philosophies, and educational systems that date back to ancient Greece and China and that have survived into the modern world.

At a moment in history when the need for cross-cultural understanding and collaboration have never been more important, The Geography of Thought offers both a map to that gulf and a blueprint for a bridge that might be able to span it.
