“A significant addition to the literature in Royce Studies and American
intellectual history. This collection makes available Royce’s contributions in
areas ranging from philosophy of race, to virtue ethics, even to philosophy
of sports.”
—Kelly Parker, Grand Valley State University Like his student W. E. B. Du Bois in Souls of Black Folk, Royce recognized that
the problem of the next century would be, “the problem of the color line.”
Though left out of the mainstream of academic philosophy, Royce’s conception
of community influenced generations of leaders who sought to end
racial, religious, and national prejudice, including Martin Luther King, Jr.
This new edition of Royce’s Race Questions, Provincialism, and Other
American Problems includes a new introduction to Royce’s philosophy of
loyalty and the essays included in the volume, and a second introduction
connecting Royce’s work with contemporary discussions of race.
The volume also includes six supplementary essays by Royce, unavailable
since their initial publication before 1916.
| JOSIAH ROYCE (1855–1916) is one of the central figures in American Philosophy.
Fordham has reissued the two-volume edition of his Basic Writings,
edited by John J. McDermott. |
