David Livingstone Smith discusses philosophy of race on ‘Multiracial Family Man’

David Livingstone Smith, Ph.D., professor of philosophy, was the featured guest on the September 27, 2015, podcast of "Multiracial Family Man,” which explores issues of race.

Smith explained the philosophy of race and explored what it is that leads humans to use race to conceive of others as sub-human. He also addressed ways to combat the injustices in the world that stem from racial prejudice.

“If we look at the injustices committed, we need people to challenge some of the beliefs that underpin those injustices, some of the beliefs about race. I don’t think that solves the problem, but I think it contributes to a solution,” he stated.
