Question

On racism in philosophy.

"dialectical thinking is not inherently racist, nor should it necessarily be discarded in the name of some other philosophical understanding of history. Nevertheless, philosophers need to acknowledge that the modern origins of dialectical thought can be directly traced to the explicit racism of philosophers such as Rousseau and Hegel."

Their racism in not an inherent part of the dialectic but was the way they interpreted the dialectic and applied it given their limitations. Marxists would flee the dialectic from those limitations. It's like a factory. It's not inherently exploitative even though tit originated as such.
