Recenzii
This book includes the main texts that have marked out Leonard Harris' continuing combat against all that separate humans from other humans, the human from her humanity. And as we feel the wind blowing through the pages of this Reader, we are reminded that the demand for radical questioning and examination which defines philosophy is first and foremost a force of emancipation.
A Philosophy Born of Struggle: The Leonard Harris Reader, is the only collection of its kind. Leonard Harris pioneered this field of philosophy more than 30 years ago, and this collection shows the extent to which he has defined the field. This is a must read for students within philosophy, especially those within the field of philosophy of race, African and Africana philosophy and philosophies of liberation. This long awaited collection is a global phenomenon as Harris has produced a collection that will enrich the lives of all us across the globe who have for many years followed his work and shared them with others. This is without doubt a monumental read!
A timely collection of Leonard Harris' essays, this book portrays a philosophy born not of wonder but of struggle - a philosophy deeply rooted in the reality of human experiences riddled with genocide, exploitation, and misery - to name but a few. As a leading contemporary thinker, Harris approaches vital topics such as racism, honor and dignity, insurrectionist ethics in a uniquely insightful way that takes the contingency of this universe seriously.
Leonard Harris is a true pioneer of Africana Philosophy. This valuable collection of his writings will serve as a great introduction to his work, making clear his contrarianism, his refusal to abide by the conventional wisdom, and his militant and unwavering commitment to bringing about a more just society (especially since the arc of the moral universe has been doing such a bad job!).
Harris's intellectual and emotional willingness to open philosophy to value-laden exchange and critiquing institutional issues of the profession are aims any philosopher should be proud to emulate as a philosopher.
