ASRC 6204 - Africana Philosophy: W.E.B Du Bois

Spring. 4 credits. Letter grades only.

O. Taiwo.

This class is devoted to the in-depth study of the works of W.E.B. DuBois. The aim is to locate DuBois in the general philosophicalfimament while mining his works for specific philosophical insights that they embody and laying bare the contributions that he has made to our understanding of some of the great questions that occupy the energies wherever they happen to be located. Finally, we seek to elicit how his Afican American inheritance inspired him and is itself impacted by his philosophical exertions.
