On Obama examines some of the key philosophical questions that
accompany the historic emergence of the 44th US president. The
purpose of this book is to take seriously the once common thought
that the Obama presidency had ushered in a post-historical age.
Three questions organize the argument of the book: What's living
and dead in the idea of post-racialism? Did Mr. Obama's preference
for problem-solving over ideological warfare mark him not just as a
post-partisan figure but as a philosophical pragmatist? Did the US
become post-imperial when the descendants of slaves and of British
imperial subjects inhabited the White House? In addition to taking
up these questions, the book considers Mr. Obama's own relationship
to the post-historical idea and explores the ethical implications
of certain ways of entertaining that idea.
