2201 African American Philosophy
This course examines the social impact and influence of
African American philosophical thought through the works of writers
such as Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, W.E.B. DuBois, Alain
Locke, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Angela Davis, bell hooks,
and Cornell West. We study both the historical origins of
"philosophy born of struggle" and examine its moral, political,
ethical, and feminist dimensions and implications.
