Abstract

Abstract:This article offers a response to Michael J. Monahan’s engagement with and criticism of Grant Silva’s article “Racism as Self-Love.” So as to demonstrate how Monahan’s idea of “ur-contempt” fits alongside the author’s project and supplements his attempt to challenge the variety of forms of moral obfuscation employed by white nationalists and other racists today, this response begins with an overview of the central critique of moral responsibility for racism that Silva’s work offers. At stake is the attempt, by unabashed white supremacist and others, to bank on historical acts of racial oppression and reap the benefits of elevated social status while evading responsibility for that past. The goal in this project is thus to demonstrate the entanglement of interpersonal and structural forms of racism while also describing how racism unfolds in the present in order to challenge the types of moral evasion for racism that Monahan and Silva are concerned with.

论“粗鲁蔑视”与种族不公正的维持——对莫纳汉《种族主义与“自爱”:以白人民族主义为例》的回应
摘要:本文回应了Michael J. Monahan对Grant Silva的文章《种族主义即自爱》的关注和批评。为了证明莫纳汉的“野蛮蔑视”思想是如何与作者的计划相契合的,并补充了他对当今白人民族主义者和其他种族主义者所采用的各种形式的道德混淆的挑战,本文首先概述了席尔瓦作品中对种族主义的道德责任的核心批评。关键在于,毫不掩饰的白人至上主义者和其他人企图依靠历史上的种族压迫行为,在逃避对过去的责任的同时,从提高的社会地位中获益。因此,该项目的目标是展示种族主义的人际关系和结构形式的纠缠,同时也描述种族主义如何在当前展开,以挑战莫纳汉和席尔瓦所关注的种族主义的道德逃避类型。

期刊介绍: The critical philosophy of race consists in the philosophical examination of issues raised by the concept of race, the practices and mechanisms of racialization, and the persistence of various forms of racism across the world. Critical philosophy of race is a critical enterprise in three respects: it opposes racism in all its forms; it rejects the pseudosciences of old-fashioned biological racialism; and it denies that anti-racism and anti-racialism summarily eliminate race as a meaningful category of analysis. Critical philosophy of race is a philosophical enterprise because of its engagement with traditional philosophical questions and in its readiness to engage critically some of the traditional answers.
