Product Description:

The Routledge Companion to Philosophy of Race is a comprehensive volume that brings together newly written articles on race from some of the leading analytic and continental philosophers. While race and racism have long been explored in sociology, history, and political science, this collection addresses the increasing interest of philosophers in these areas, especially in light of the challenges posed to the historical concept of race.

This volume synthesizes contemporary philosophical understandings of race, offering 37 chapters that span the history of philosophy and explore how race can be investigated within the frameworks of contemporary philosophy, including moral philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, and aesthetics.

In addition, the Companion addresses broader topics that resonate outside the realm of philosophy, such as colonialism, affirmative action, eugenics, immigration, race and disability, and post-racialism, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences.

With its clear organization and thoughtful analysis, this volume will be instrumental in deepening the understanding of race from a philosophical perspective.
