O knihe
Using the writings of slaves and former slaves, as well as commentarieson slavery, Between Slavery and Freedom explores the American slave experience togain a better understanding of six moral and political concepts -- oppression, paternalism, resistance, political obligation, citizenship, and forgiveness. Theauthors use analytical philosophy as well as other disciplines to gain insight intothe thinking of a group of people prevented from participating in thesocial/political discourse of their times.
Between Slavery andFreedom rejects the notion that philosophers need not consider individual experiencebecause philosophy is "impartial" and "universal." A philosophershould also take account of matters that are essentially perspectival, such as theslave experience. McGary and Lawson demonstrate the contribution of all humanexperience, including slave experiences, to the quest for human knowledge andunderstanding.
