Previous works on Frederick Douglass have focused either on his
life or the literary genre in which his life is framed. Frederick
Douglass: A Critical Reader is unique in that it explores his work
by way of the field of philosophy to show that Douglass offered a
wealth of arguments throughout his many texts and speeches. The
writers in this work examine the explicit and implicit
philosophical themes and arguments that resonate through his texts.
Philosophically, Douglass' work seeks to establish better ways of
thinking especially in the light of his conviction about our
genuine shared humanity and the value of a democratic political
life. His experience of, and straggle against, the institution of
American slavery shaped these views. This understanding of
Douglass' writing resonates in the essays written by contributors
to this volume who include Angela Davis, Bernard Boxill, Howard
McGary, and Lewis Gordon, to name a few. The result is a critical
anthology of note, giving more than ample demonstration of the
philosophical magnitude of Frederick Douglass' work.
