Darryl Scriven presents, in this work, the first rigorous
philosophical investigation of a myriad of issues found in David
Walker's only book "The Appeal." Scriven introduces Walker as a
sage able to offer valuable philosophical insights into problems we
as a nation are even now still confronting; thus marking Walker's
work as timeless and rightfully so.
Some of the issues investigated include the concepts of race,
truth, esteem, human nature, racial consciousness, moral
obligations, and the aim of social and political philosophy. By
engaging Walker in a discussion about these issues and others,
Scriven is able to present Walker as not just a sage who is quite
prophetic, but as a true philosopher, political theorist,
theologian and revolutionary pragmatist.
No one who reads this work should doubt that Walker, although he
has not been remembered as he should have been, at the time he
published his pamphlet had a marked impact on the political and
social landscape of this nation. Through this current dialogue
between Scriven and Walker those who are careful to listen may well
find a new hope, new insights, and perhaps even a new commitment to
praxis at a time when our nation is still troubled and struggling
to develop a sustainable, modern democracy.
