Race in the Birth of the Human Science
Professor Lewis Gordon (Temple): Race in the Birth of the Human Sciences
Modern thought developed a dissociative
relationship to the study of race, and contemporary thought has largely
taken that neurosis to the point of systemic denial, where many
intellectuals could paradoxically only talk about race through, in
effect, refusing to do so. The speaker will offer a portrait of how
race and human science are two sides of the same coin and outline the
varieties of challenges they pose to contemporary thought, especially of
the scientific and political kinds.
