Description

Explore the foundations of modern identity with Heredity, Race, and the Birth of the Modern. Published by Routledge, this academic study examines the deep-seated assumptions we hold regarding inheritance, genealogy, and racial categories. The text addresses a fundamental question: what defines the bonds between humans and why do we view these connections as both physical and metaphysical attributes across generations? This work provides a thorough examination of early modern sources to answer complex questions about human connection. Readers will find a detailed analysis involving common law, literature, adages, and political thought. By looking at topics such as bloodlines and bastardy, the book offers a rigorous look at how concepts of lineage and race have been constructed and understood throughout history. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of Western philosophy and the social sciences.
