Alain Locke is most known for his involvement in the Harlem
Renaissance. However, he received his PhD in philosophy from
Harvard University in 1918, and produced a very large corpus of
philosophical work. His work shows him to have been a sophisticated
philosopher who thought through practical and theoretical problems
regarding the nature of cosmopolitanism, democracy, race, value,
religion, art, and education. Although Locke's philosophical work
has been discussed in parts, there has been no theorizing about how
his different philosophical commitments fit together. In this book
Corey L. Barnes begins to systematize Locke's philosophical
thought, showing how his democratic theory, philosophy of race, and
value theory are connected to and undergirded by a commitment to
cosmopolitanism. In so doing, Barnes unearths aspects of Locke's
thought-for example, his economic thinking-that have not been
accorded attention and reimagines parts of his work about which
have been theorized, all while bringing Locke into current debates
about each subject.
