LEON S. PETERS ETHICS LECTURE
If Not Race, Then What?
Bio-cultural Groups, Social Ontology,
Political Philosophy
Lucius Outlaw
March 11, 5-6 PM
EE 191
Lucius Outlaw explores how best to characterize “bio-cultural groups”—social
groupings that are self-reproducing biologically and partially self-sustaining through
cultural practices. If such groups should not be referred to as “races,” then what are they
and how can they be described?
Dr. Lucius Outlaw is Professor of Philosophy at Vanderbilt University.
He is the author of On Race and Philosophy (Routledge 1996).
