 This entry focuses primarily on contemporary scholarship regarding the conceptual, ontological, epistemological, and normative questions pertaining to race, with an introductory section on the history of the concept of race in the West and in Western philosophy. Aside from some discussion in Section 5, it does not focus in depth on authors such as Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. DuBois, or Frantz Fanon, or movements, such as Négritude, Critical Race Theory, Black Identity, Philosophy of Liberation, or Feminist Perspectives on Race. Interested readers should consult the relevant entries in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy for insight into these and other topics important to the study of race in philosophy.
