 Finally, we must consider whether Royce’s version of white supremacist thinking is a necessary structural element in his philosophy. Curry has established that to overlook these assumptions is to present an inaccurate representation of what Royce actually thought, and of why he thought it. It is not clear, however, that one would need to retain any of these assumptions in developing a contemporary theory of community, metaphysics, religion, or logic that draws on Royce’s work (Pratt 2014 and 2021). In principle it may be possible to develop an anti-racist vision of community based on Roycean principles (Tunstall 2021, 28–29; Jackson 2021, 68–70; Barnette 2021, 102–04). Royce conceived the Beloved Community as an ideal unified around a common set of loyalties. Racist, militaristic, nationalistic, and other “predatory” loyalties would be eliminated in the historical emergence of this community, and it would retain contributions from many distinctive cultures (Jackson 2021, 63). Moving beyond Royce’s unitary ideal, we might instead envision a pluralist, multicultural world that contains many kinds of beloved communities. Both visions are logically possible, but whether either one is practically possible is not a question for philosophy. This is a matter for people to work out the hard way, in the complex world of history and politics, rather than in the deliberately simplified realm of theory.
