Race, Racism, and Antiracism Part IV

In this episode, Jeff and Eli begin by discussing a controversial SNL joke about Israel’s vaccination program. Next they discuss the devastating empirical problems faced by the classical racialist view of race before launching into a discussion of the different metaphysical camps in the philosophy of race. They start with Biological Realism using Michael Hardimon’s work as a model and talk about the pros and cons of holding on to a minimalist concept of biological race. Show Notes:To watch the controversial SNL joke, click/tap here.To read Richard Lewontin’s 1972 population study click/tap here. To read Noah Rosenberg’s 2002 population genetics study click/tap here. To read Hardimon’s defense of Biological Realism click/tap here.
