SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will begin discussing a new book\, Caste: The Origins of our Discontents (2020)\, by Isabel Wilkerson. The book focuses on race in the U.S. (Wilkerson is black)\, but examines the topic broadly and includes comparisons with the caste system of India and the discriminations carried out by Nazi Germany. For the 10th we’ll read Parts I and II.\n\n \n\nThe book is readily available and lists for about $21 in paperback and $9 as an eBook\, but can be found for much less. It has won several awards\, including the Time magazine nonfiction book of the year. It was also nominated for several more\, including the National Book Award\, the Kirkus Prize\, and two different PEN America Awards. And to top it off\, we’ll be discussing it in the award-winning MISF Philosophy Study Group\, having captured the Best Philosophical Discussion Group in Minnesota for 2024. Or\, at least\, we would have if there was such a thing.
