This week I was joined by Dr. Jon Ivan Gill to discuss his latest book, "MultiRaceLessNess: A Process Philosophy". What might a Process Philosophy of Race look like? While it has become widely accepted that race is a social construct, Gill argues that this insight doesn't go far enough. If race isn't "real" in any essential sense, why do we continue to organize our selves, and our world around it?
Jon pushes the conversation looking into the possibility of abolishing the category of race all together. Together we wrestle with the philosophical, theological, and ethical implications of us a proposal. What would it actually mean to dissolve race as a category of human identity? Would doing so heal or erase? Liberate or disorient? Is it even possible to end racism without first letting go of the category of race itself?
Without offering easy answers, this conversation invites listeners into a bold and necessary interrogation of the categories we have inherited and challenges us to imagine what might lie on the other side of them. Enjoy!
