Philosophy and liberal political theory are often presented as universal, impartial, and valid across all cultures and eras. But are these claims of neutrality genuine, or are they designed to conceal uncomfortable truths? In this talk, philosopher and author of Another White Man’s Burden, Tommy J. Curry challenges the academy’s insistence on political neutrality, arguing that within liberal political theory it is not simply flawed, but actively harmful. Drawing on intellectual history and critical theory, Curry examines how liberalism’s claims to universality have reshaped and weakened key frameworks such as intersectionality, while obscuring the real-world consequences of the ideas they promote. #liberalism #race #philosophy Tommy J.

He is the author of several influential works, including The Man-Not: Race, Class, Genre, and the Dilemmas of Black Manhood, which won an American Book Award in 2018, and Another White Man’s Burden: Josiah Royce’s Quest for a Philosophy of Racial Empire.
