Abstract

Abstract:What I aim to elucidate in this article is Baldwin's moral psychology of anger in general, and black rage in particular, as seen in his nonfiction. I'll show that Baldwin's thinking is significant for moral psychology and is relevant to important questions at the intersection of philosophy of emotions, race, and social philosophy. It also has pragmatic application to present-day anti-racist struggle. Baldwin's theoretical account of Black rage, I'll argue, (1) dignifies Blacks by centering them as people with agential capacities and (2) provides them with a pragmatic politics of rage that is useful in the fight against white supremacy and racial injustice.

关于詹姆斯·鲍德温和黑色狂怒

摘要：我在这篇文章中要阐明的是鲍德温在非小说作品中对愤怒的道德心理，尤其是黑人的愤怒。我将证明鲍德温的思想对道德心理学有重要意义，并且与情感哲学、种族哲学和社会哲学交叉点的重要问题有关。它也适用于当今的反种族主义斗争。鲍德温对黑人愤怒的理论描述，我认为，（1）通过将黑人作为具有代理能力的人来树立他们的尊严，（2）为他们提供了一种务实的愤怒政治，这在反对白人至上主义和种族不公正的斗争中是有用的。

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.
