Essentialising Rhetoric and Work on the Self
Philosophical Papers 45 (1-2):103-131 (2016)
Abstract
This paper is a response to recent student protests at South African universities, and the essentialising rhetoric and practices that characterise South African public debates. I explore the likely responses of white South Africans to views that seem to make their whiteness inescapable and necessarily morally bad.Author's Profile
