Although historians and literary theorists have long participated in discussions about race, it is only recently that philosophers have returned to the topic. The main focus of their attention has been the question of what one means by race now that its biological basis has been discredited, and under what conditions a non-essentialist concept of race can be sustained. This volume provides an introduction to the concept of race within philosophy. It gives an overview of the most important contributions by continental philosophers to the understanding of race - focusing on Kant, Du Bois, Senghor, and Sartre - as well as presenting a general review of recent philosophical discussions. In addition, it moves the debate forward by including new contributions by some of today's leading theorists.

Industry Reviews

"Race offers a diverse and profound examination of the idea of race in the continental tradition, from Kant to contemporary theorists. Perspectives include phenomenology, feminism, multiculturalism, existentialism, and Africana Studies. A valuable research tool for scholarship in race and continental philosophy." Naomi Zack, University at Albany, SUNY

"This collection provides a valuable new perspective on one of the most vexing issues of the modern era. Bernasconi is to be commended." Albert Mosley, Smith College

"This excellent and wide-ranging anthology is certain to enrich and enliven contemporary philosophical discussion of the concept of race." Michele Moody-Adams, Cornell University
