For many decades, race and racism have been common areas of study
in departments of sociology, history, political science, English,
and anthropology. Much more recently, as the historical concept of
race and racial categories have faced significant scientific and
political challenges, philosophers have become more interested in
these areas. This changing understanding of the ontology of race
has invited inquiry from researchers in moral philosophy,
metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of science, philosophy of
language, and aesthetics. The Routledge Companion to Philosophy of
Race offers in one comprehensive volume newly written articles on
race from the world's leading analytic and continental
philosophers. It is, however, accessible to a readership beyond
philosophy as well, providing a cohesive reference for a wide
student and academic readership. The Companion synthesizes current
philosophical understandings of race, providing 37 chapters on the
history of philosophy and race as well as how race might be
investigated in the usual frameworks of contemporary philosophy.
The volume concludes with a section on philosophical approaches to
some topics with broad interest outside of philosophy, like
colonialism, affirmative action, eugenics, immigration, race and
disability, and post-racialism. By clearly explaining and carefully
organizing the leading current philosophical thinking on race, this
timely collection will help define the subject and bring renewed
understanding of race to students and researchers in the
humanities, social science, and sciences.
