A propos de cet article

Paperback. The Liberatory Philosophy of Martin Luther King, Jr. is a philosophical anthology which explores Dr. Kings legacy as a philosopher and his contemporary relevance as a thinker-activist. It consists of sixteen chapters organized into four sections: Part I, King within Philosophical Traditions, Part II, King as Engaged Social and Political Philosopher, Part III, Kings Ethics of Nonviolence, and Part IV, Hope Resurgent or Dream Deferred: Perplexities of Kings Philosophical Optimism. Most chapters are written by philosophers, but two are by philosophically informed social scientists. The contributors examine Kings relationships to canonical Western philosophical traditions, and to African-American thought. Kings contribution to traditional branches of philosophy such as ethics, social philosophy and philosophy of religion is explored, as well as his relevance to contemporary movements for social justice. As is evident from the title, the book considers the importance of Kings thought as liberatory discourse. Some chapters focus on topical issues like the relevance of Kings moral critique of the Vietnam War to our present involvement in Middle Eastern wars. Others focus on more densely theoretical issues such as Personalism, existential philosophy or Hegelian dialectics in Kings thought. The significance of Kings reflections on racism, economic justice, democracy and the quest for community are abiding themes. But the volume closes, quite fittingly, on the importance of the theme of hope. The text is a kind of philosophical dialogue on the enduring value of the legacy of the philosopher, King. This volume examines the philosophical thought of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and is an assessment of Kings contribution to philosophyespecially ethics, social philosophy and philosophy of religion. It also explores the relevance of Kings thoughts as liberatory discourseinsurgent thinking aimed at enabling contemporary social justice. This item is printed on demand.
