Teaching Philosophy

A collection of readings for humanities courses seeking to broaden their coverage of human experience to include people besides rich European men. Scholars of philosophy tackle such topics as Frederick Douglass' views of Locke's moral theory, abolitionist arguments of Equiano and Cugoano, early Enlightenment conceptions of the rights of slaves, paternalism, surrogacy, and a comparison of the ideologies of American slavery and the holocaust.
