Abstract

This chapter explains Lewis Gordon's existential phenomenological account of antiblack racism and how it could strengthen Marcel's reflective method by better promoting the second extraphilosophical commitment undergirding . Along the way, this chapter replies to a few objections that racial eliminativists (e.g. David McClean and Emmanuel Eze) might have to the conception of African American identity advanced in this book. It also replies to Naomi Zack's criticism of embracing African American identity as living in bad faith in her chapter from Existence in Black, "Race, Life, Death, Identity, Tragedy, and Good Faith."
