Abstract

This review essay discusses Bryan Van Norden’s book Taking Back Philosophy: A Multicultural Manifesto. Van Norden analyzes the situation in which the West deprives philosophies from other cultural traditions of their philosophical nature, as well as the cultural and political conditioning of this problem. Van Norden convincingly demonstrates implicit racism hidden behind philosophy curricula, which is supported by increasing nationalism in both Europe and the United States. Although his book is not radical enough in multiculturalizing philosophy, it successfully combines the approach of an academician with a practical response to the social demands of our times.
