Description

Heredity, Race, and the Birth of the Modern examines fundamental assumptions about inheritance, genealogy, blood relations, and racial categories in modern thought. This philosophical work investigates what constitutes meaningful human bonds and how societies determine kinship across generations as both physical and metaphysical attributes. Drawing from early modern sources including adages, common law, literature on bloodlines and bastardy, and philosophical texts, the book traces the intellectual foundations of contemporary ideas about race and family. Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in Philosophy series, it offers rigorous analysis of how historical understandings of heredity shaped modern racial thinking and social hierarchies. Suitable for scholars, students, and readers interested in the history of philosophy, intellectual history, and critical examinations of race theory.
