The third edition of Race: A Philosophical Introduction continues
to provide the definitive guide to a topic of major contemporary
importance. In this thoroughly updated and revised volume, Paul
Taylor outlines the main features and implications of
race-thinking, while engaging the ideas of important figures such
as Linda Alcoff, K. Anthony Appiah, W. E. B. Du Bois, Michel
Foucault and Sally Haslanger. The result is a comprehensive but
accessible introduction to philosophical race theory and to a
non-biological and situational notion of race, which blends
metaphysics and social epistemology, aesthetics, analytic
philosophy and pragmatic philosophy of experience. Taylor
approaches the key questions in philosophy of race: What is
race-thinking? Don't we know better than to talk about race now?
Are there any races? What is it like to have a racial identity? And
how important, ethically, is color blindness? On the way to
answering these questions, he takes up topics such as mixed-race
identity, white supremacy, the relationship between the race
concept and other social identity categories, and the impact of
race-thinking on our erotic and romantic lives. The concluding
section explores the racially fraught issues of policing,
immigration, and global justice, and the implications of the
political upheavals of the past decade, from the election of Donald
Trump to the global upsurge in anti-immigrant populism. Updated
throughout, Race remains a vital resource for the educated general
reader as well as for students and scholars of ethnic studies,
philosophy, sociology, and related fields.
