Abstract

Abstract:This article proceeds from a perspective on value and valuation that is distinct from moral and economic discourses of value in that it conceives of value as primarily, and even paradigmatically, political. Drawing from the insights of Anna Julia Cooper’s political-economic writings, this article argues that value and values, markets and morals, and the constellation of issues entangled in modern discourses of valuation all have the effect of devaluing black life. It explores the tensions between economics and moral sentiments, as Cooper depicts them in her discussion of the concepts of worth and material. Cooper demonstrates the concept of matter to rely upon a tension between material goods and the common good. Cooper’s discussion is therefore pivotal to understanding how political priorities mesh with systems of material interdependence.

价值有什么问题?安娜·朱莉娅·库珀的《政治经济思想》

摘要：本文从价值和估价的角度出发，这与价值的道德和经济话语不同，因为它将价值视为主要的，甚至是象征性的政治。本文借鉴安娜·朱莉娅·库珀的政治经济学著作，认为价值与价值、市场与道德以及现代价值话语中纠缠的一系列问题都具有贬低黑人生活的作用。它探讨了经济学和道德情感之间的紧张关系，正如库珀在讨论价值和物质概念时所描述的那样。库珀证明了物质的概念依赖于物质商品和公共利益之间的张力。因此，库珀的讨论对于理解政治优先事项如何与物质相互依存的体系相结合至关重要。

期刊介绍： The critical philosophy of race consists in the philosophical examination of issues raised by the concept of race, the practices and mechanisms of racialization, and the persistence of various forms of racism across the world. Critical philosophy of race is a critical enterprise in three respects: it opposes racism in all its forms; it rejects the pseudosciences of old-fashioned biological racialism; and it denies that anti-racism and anti-racialism summarily eliminate race as a meaningful category of analysis. Critical philosophy of race is a philosophical enterprise because of its engagement with traditional philosophical questions and in its readiness to engage critically some of the traditional answers.
