Description

Four prominent philosophers and race theorists engage in a lively debate about the nature of race, exploring its social, cultural, biological, and philosophical implications.

The discussion centers around four distinct views: Sally Haslanger argues that race is a socio-political reality, while Chike Jeffers maintains that it is both political and cultural. Quayshawn Spencer pursues the idea that race is biologically real, and Joshua Glasgow presents an argument for a more nuanced understanding of its existence.

This book offers a sophisticated and principled discussion of a concept that significantly permeates our lives, providing numerous ways to understand and approach issues related to race and social justice.
