Описание книги

The third edition of Race: A Philosophical Introduction continues to provide the definitive guide to a topic of major contemporary importance. In this thoroughly updated and revised volume, Paul Taylor outlines the main features and implications of race-thinking, while engaging the ideas of important figures such as Linda Alcoff, K. Anthony Appiah, W. E. B. Du Bois, Michel Foucault and Sally Haslanger. The result is a comprehensive but accessible introduction to philosophical race theory and to a non-biological and situational notion of race, which blends metaphysics and social epistemology, aesthetics, analytic philosophy and pragmatic philosophy of experience. Taylor approaches the key questions in philosophy of race: 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? And how important, ethically, is color blindness? On the way to answering these questions, he takes up topics such as mixed-race identity, white supremacy, the relationship between the race concept and other social identity categories, and the impact of race-thinking on our erotic and romantic lives. The concluding section explores the racially fraught issues of policing, immigration, and global justice, and the implications of the political upheavals of the past decade, from the election of Donald Trump to the global upsurge in anti-immigrant populism. Updated throughout, Race remains a vital resource for the educated general reader as well as for students and scholars of ethnic studies, philosophy, sociology, and related fields.

.....

If I’m right, focusing on the Anglo-American model of race-thinking doesn’t have to get in the way of telling a more global story about race. Unfortunately, the narrower focus may have its own internal difficulties. I’ve already said that we use race-talk in unclear and inconsistent ways, so how do I propose to reduce that semantic diversity to a single model?

Using the same words in unclear and inconsistent ways is not a problem that’s unique to race-talk. The elements of language are tools, and like any other tools, they can play roles beyond the ones for which they were originally created. Just as some people use irons not just to remove wrinkles from their clothes but also to make grilled cheese sandwiches, sometimes people repurpose words in ways that give them strikingly new meanings. Think of the way names like “Karen” and “Becky” have come to stand in for objectionable personality types. (In current vernacular usage, “Karen” refers to “women, usually white, who commit acts that are perceived to be bullying and sometimes racist,” as in the “Central Park Karen” incident from May 2020.)5
