Few philosophers have opposed institutionalized racialism as vehemently as Jean-Paul Sartre, both in his intellectual work and in his political action. This book argues that not only does a relationship exists between Sartre's existentialist philosophy and antiracism but also, more profoundly, that it is precisely his existential ontology that informs his anti-racist social and political commitments. He sought to examine the complexity of our existence as conscious bodies and thus provides the ontological basis for understanding the situation of a black person in an antiblack world. This book is about how Sartre's philosophy - especially his early writings - can be applied to address the problem of racism against black people. It argues that among the many concepts in Sartre's work that are useful in understanding the problem of racism against black people, the philosophical notion of contingency is one of the most significant. Contingency in Sartre is the view that whatever exists, need not exist, and that therefore it can be changed; that the fact that one is born white or black without their choice, has no moral weight at all in treating others as though they are responsible for what they are. In this book Mabogo More contends that through Sartre's philosophical notion of contingency, he provides us with the ammunition to understand and deal with racism broadly, and antiblack racism in particular"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Sartre, Jean-Paul, $d 1905-1980. 650 0 $a Contingency (Philosophy) 650 0 $a Racism. 650 0 $a Anti-racism. 776 08 $i Online version: $a More, Mabogo Percy, 1946- $t Sartre on contingency $d Lanham, Maryland : Rowman & Littlefield, 2021 $z 9781538157053 $w (DLC) 2021030035 830 0 $a Living existentialism. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220202020651.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FDA7560E3BA411EC87B0DC564EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
