By definitively establishing that racism has broad implications for
how the entire field of philosophy is practiced and by whom this
powerful and convincing book puts all members of the discipline on
notice that racism concerns them. It simultaneously demonstrates to
race theorists the significance of philosophy for their work.A
distinguished cast of authors takes a stand on the importance of
race, focusing on the insights that analyses of race and racism can
make to philosophy not just to ethics and political philosophy but
also to the more abstract debates of metaphysics, philosophy of
mind, and epistemology. Contemporary philosophy, the authors argue,
continues to evade racism and, as a result, often helps to promote
it. At the same time, anti-racist theorists in many disciplines
regularly draw on crucial notions of objectivity, rationality,
agency, individualism, and truth without adequate knowledge of
philosophical analyses of these very concepts. Racism and
Philosophy demonstrates the impossibility of talking thoughtfully
about race without recourse to philosophy. Written to engage
readers with a wide variety of interests, this is an essential book
for all theorists of race and for all philosophers."
