La Conversation Fractur��e

This Project Is A Philosophical Analysis Of The Dominant Concepts Of Race That Prevail Within Contemporary American Society. It Is The Claim Of This Book That Four Main Concepts Attempt To Answer The Question: What Is Race? The Four Concepts Are Racial Essentialism Race As A Social Construct With Objective Status Racial Nihilism And Race As An Existential/Phenomenological Process. Each Concept Fails However In Providing The Necessary And Sufficient Conditions For A Satisfactory Concept Of Race And Thus The Project Calls For A New Conceptual Framework For Answering The Question: What Is Race?
