  • “Cultural Racism”

    Open AccessLawrence BlumARTICLEJournal of Social Philosophy2023

    Social scientists in the US have documented a significant decline in the degree to which whites will acknowledge belief in the biological inferiority of blacks, a bedrock belief underpinning the Segregation system.For example a 1997 poll found that only 10% of whites said that "most blacks have less in-born ability to learn" 1 However, social scientists have also documented a continued willingness of whites to attribute negative characteristics t…

    Lawrence BlumBOOKI'm Not a Racist, But...2019

    Blum develops a historically grounded account of racism as the deeply morally charged notion it has become. He addresses the question whether people of color can be racist, defines types of racism, and identifies debased and inappropriate usages of the term.

  • Altruism and Benevolence

    Open AccessLawrence Blum, Lawrence A BlumCHAPTERWiley Encyclopedia of Management2015

    Altruism is action taken out of concern for others for their own sake. Benevolence is such concern. Altruism does not require self‐sacrifice, although it generally has more moral worth when it does than when it does not. Altruism can bring about satisfaction in the agent. But such satisfaction is seldom the motive for engaging in beneficent action, and when it is, it is not a case of altruism at all. An altruist may fail to bring about benefit to…

  • Political identity and moral education

    Lawrence BlumARTICLEJournal of Moral Education2013

    In The Righteous Mind, Jonathan Haidt claims that liberals have a narrower moral outlook than conservatives—they are concerned with fairness and relief of suffering, which Haidt sees as individualistic values, while conservatives care about authority and loyalty too, values concerned with holding society together. I question Haidt’s methodology, which does not permit liberals to express concerns with social bonds that do not fit within an ‘author…

  • Antiracist Moral Identities, or Iris Murdoch in South Africa

    Lawrence BlumARTICLESouth African Journal of Philosophy2011Citada por: 2

    I argue that Samantha Vice understates the moral resources white people have available to them to minimize their falling into distorted ways of perceiving and responding to the world caused by bare white advantage. In doing so, she paints an unjustifiably pessimistic picture of white civic involvement in South Africa, and anywhere where white people are unjustly advantaged, such as the United States. I delineate two similar but distinct antiracis…

  • Best traditions patriotism

    Open AccessLawrence BlumARTICLETheory and Research in Education2007

    Ben-Porath sees patriotism as involving attachment to fellow citizens as part of a shared fate community. Wingo places shared values at the center of patriotism. Miller argues that political ties to fellow nationals stemming from participation in imposing laws and policies on them will also generate obligations to non-nationals (especially the poor of many other nations). But he sees patriotism as involving a deeper love of one's nation that carr…

  • Stereotypes And Stereotyping

    Lawrence BlumARTICLEPhilosophical Papers2004

    Stereotypes are false or misleading generalizations about groups held in a manner that renders them largely, though not entirely, immune to counterevidence. In doing so, stereotypes powerfully shape the stereotyper's perception of stereotyped groups, seeing the stereotypic characteristics when they are not present, failing to see the contrary of those characteristics when they are, and generally homogenizing the group. A stereotyper associates a …

  • Recognition and Multiculturalism in Education

    Open AccessLawrence BlumARTICLEJournal of Philosophy of Education2001Citada por: 2

    Charles Taylor’s ‘Politics of Recognition’ has given philosophical substance to the idea of ‘recognition’ and has solidified a link between recognition and multiculturalism. I argue that Taylor oversimplifies the valuational basis of recognition; fails to appreciate the difference between recognition of individuals and of groups; fails to articulate the value of individuality; fails to appreciate the difference between race and ethnoculture as di…

  • Moral Perception and Particularity

    Open AccessLawrence Blum, Lawrence A BlumBOOKMoral Perception and Particularity1994

    Most contemporary moral philosophy is concerned with issues of rationality, universality, impartiality, and principle. By contrast Laurence Blum is concerned with the psychology of moral agency. The essays in this collection examine the moral import of emotion, motivation, judgment, perception, and group identifications, and explore how all these psychic capacities contribute to a morally good life. Blum takes up the challenge of Iris Murdoch to …

    Simone Weil - philosopher, trade union militant, factory worker - developed a penetrating critique of Marxism and a powerful political philosophy which serves as an alternative both to liberalism and Marxism. In A Truer Liberty , Blum and Seidler show how Simone Weil's philosophy differed from Marxism: she sought to put political action on a firmly moral basis. Weil criticized Marxism for its confidence in progress and revolution and its attendan…
