Race by Paul C Taylor
Paul C. 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.
"Combining conceptual analysis, historical perspective, and down--to--earth yet dazzling intelligence, Race: A Philosophical Introduction is an indispensable guide to understanding and ultimately cutting through the tangle of confusion that surrounds the concept of raceIn 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. Singletary Chair in the Humanities, University of Kentucky
Paul Taylor is Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Adjunct Assistant Professor of American Ethnic Studies at the University of Washington.
