This article is part of a larger project in which I attempt to show that Western formal logic, from its inception in Aristotle onward, has both been partially constituted by, and partially constitutive of, what has become known as racism. In contrast to this trend, the present article concerns the major philosopher whose contribution to logic has been perhaps the most derided and marginalized, and yet whose character and politics are, from a contemporary perspective, drastically superior—John Stuart Mill. My approach to my core concern will be one of narrowing concentric circles. I will begin with Mill’s occasional political writings that bear on the issue of racism, including “The Negro Question.” From there, the core of the article will explore the political dimensions of Mill’s A System of Logic which is my primary

The life-blood of African philosophy (as with any philosophy) is the generation of new concepts adequate to an intellectual milieu. That milieu includes historical, cultural, politi-cal, and pragmatic elements, among others, as well as the existing concepts that make the milieu philosophically viable. These concepts are both the result and the starting point of questions that can only be asked in a particular manner within African milieus. The access to these questions comes initially from the writing done by those who are of this place, and ultimately from a phenomenological presence in and to the place. This paper will illus-trate this approach to
