In Philosophic Values and World Citizenship: Locke to Obama and
Beyond, Alain Locke the central promoter of the Harlem Renaissance,
America's most famous African American pragmatist, the cultural
referent for Renaissance movements in the Caribbean and Africa is
placed in conversation with leading philosophers and cultural
figures in the modern world. The contributors to this collection
compare and contrast Locke's views on values, tolerance,
cosmopolitanism, and American and world citizenship with
philosophers and leading cultural figures ranging from Aristotle,
Immanuel Kant, James Farmer, William James, John Dewey, Jose
Vasconcelos, Hans G. Gadamer, Fredrick Nietzsche, Horace Kallen,
Leroi Jones (Amiri Baraka) to the cultural and political figure of
Barack Obama. This important collection of essays eruditely
presents Locke's views on moral, emotional, and aesthetic values;
the principle of tolerance in managing value conflict; and his
rhetorical style, which conveyed his views of cultural reciprocity
and tolerance in the service of the values of citizenship and
cosmopolitanism. For teachers and students of contemporary debates
in pragmatism, diversity, and value theory, these conversations
define new and controversial terrain.
