Course Description:
This course provides a thematic overview of the Africana tradition of philosophy. By engaging with a range of philosophers in the African, Caribbean and Black American traditions, we will think through foundational questions within Africana philosophy, such as: What role does difference play in the pursuit of universal knowledge? How does one relate to a tradition distorted by the historical experience of colonialism? What is the ontological status of race? What does it mean to claim Black identity in an anti-Black world? How should we conceive of global racial justice? What is intersectionality? To what extent do experiences of gender differ across the globe? Is there something distinctive about an Africana philosophical approach? |
