Ryan Johnson and Biko Mandela Gray study the relationship between Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit and Black Thought from Frederick Douglass to Angela DavisThe first philosophy book written, in a single voice, by a Black philosopher and a white philosopherDramatizes a dialectical parallelism between Hegel's Phenomenology and Black ThoughtDiversifies and transforms the history of philosophy by forcing canonical thinkers into direct dialogue with 19th-20th-century African American, African, and Africana thinkersExpands Hegel Studies by including habitually excluded perspectives and voicesChampions the history of African American PhilosophyArticulates the expansiveness and interdisciplinarity of Black ThoughtThis staging of an elongated dialectical parallelism between Hegel's classic text and major 19th-20th-century Black thinkers explodes the western canon of philosophy. Johnson and Mandela Gray show that Hegel's abstract dialectic is transformed and critiqued when put into conversation with the lived dialectics of Black Thought: from Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs through to Malcolm X and Angela Davis.While Hegel articulates the dynamic logics that we see in these Black thinkers, when they are placed in parallel and considered together, the whiteness, both explicit and implicit, of Hegelianism itself is revealed. Forcing Hegelianism into the embodied history of Black Thought reveals a phenomenology of America whose spirit is Black.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 138mmAuthor: Biko Gray, Ryan JohnsonGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: Society & Culture, Gender Sex & Relationships, Social SciencesRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
