The Black Book: Wittgenstein and Race
Richard A. Jones
The Black Book: Wittgenstein and Raceattempts to highlight the importance of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s work for contemporary African American and Africana philosophy. Richard A. Jones argues that Wittgenstein’s early Tractarian views on logical atomismandhis later more holistic views from his workPhilosophical Investigationsare exceedingly relevant to African American philosophy.The Black Bookinvestigates the epistemic, linguistic, and political grounds from which inspiration might be drawn. Ultimately, as philosophy attempts to redefine itself in a postmodern discourse where it has been deigned “concluded,” it is the “awe for the ordinary” that Wittgenstein inspires and that should re-inspire the creative imaginary in Africana thought.The Black Bookis an attempt to show that Wittgenstein’s work continues to be important, not only for African American philosophers, but for all philosophers.
