Taylor provides an accessible guide to a well-travelled but still-mysterious area of the contemporary social landscape. The result is the first philosophical introduction to the field of race theory and to a non-biological and situational notion of race.
Provides the first philosophical introduction to the field of race theory.
Outlines the main features and implications of race-thinking;
asks questions such as: 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?
Engages with the ideas of such important figures as Linda Alcoff, K. Anthony Appiah, W.E.B. Du Bois, Howard Winant, and Naomi Zack.
Explores the enduring significance of race in relation to culture, personal relationships and social justice.媒体推荐"Combining conceptual analysis, historical perspective, and down-to-earth yet dazzling intelligence,Race: A Philosophical Introductionis an indispensable guide to understanding and ultimately cutting through the tangle of confusion that surrounds the concept of race. In place of that confusion, Paul Taylor offers an elegant, rigorous, yet supremely common-sense view of the (non-biologistic) "reality" of race. This is philosophy as Socrates and John Dewey imagined it could and should be: an exacting, clear-eyed, non-doctrinaire sorting-out of one of the most pressing problems of our culture."Susan Bordo, Otis A.
