Description

Ron Mallon. 2006. “Race: Normative, Not Metaphysical or Semantic.” Ethics 116 (3): 525-551.

'I argue that much of the dispute over the metaphysics of race is an illusion, that this illusion is produced in part by an implicit appeal to theories of reference for racial terms - what I call the "semantic strategy," and that reliance on the semantic strategy is a mistake.'

This is a penultimate draft uploaded from Mallon's web page at: http://www.hum.utah.edu/philosophy/f...
