Philosophical Meditations on “Black lives matter"

The Critique (2016)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

What does “Black lives matter” say that “All lives matter” does not? In particular, why do we appreciate a kind of conflict between them? This essay is about the way that social identities work in human life. Appreciating the way that identity works will shed light on the way that “All lives matter” undermines the force of “Black lives matter.”
