Join the Religion and Ethics Workshop, as Prof. Terrence Johnson, of Haverford college presents a paper entitled, “Deliberating from the Margins: The Moral Problem of Blackness and the Democratic Value of Double Consciousness”. The paper will be distributed in advance.

In his first book, Tragic Soul-Life: W.E.B. Du Bois and the Moral Crisis Facing American Democracy (Oxford University Press, 2012), Johnson retrieves Du Bois’s category of tragic soul-life to expand contemporary debates on the role of religion in public life. The paper he will present furthers themes touched upong in Tragic Soul-Life, exploring public reason, epistemic diversity and the spirit of democracy.
