Occasions of Identity is an exploration of timeless philosophical issues about persistence, change, time, and sameness Andre Gallois offers a critical survey of various rival views about the nature of identity and change, and puts forward his own original theory. He supports the idea of occasional identities, arguing that it is coherent and helpful to suppose that things can be identical at one time but distinct at another. Gallois defends this view, demonstrating how it can solve puzzles about persistence dating back to the Ancient Greeks, and investigates the metaphysical consequences of rejecting the necessity and eternity of identities..

Race/Sex is the first forum for combined discussion of racial theory and gender theory. In sixteen articles, avant-garde scholars of African American philosophy and liberatory criticism explore and explode the categories of race, sex and gender into new trajectories that include sexuality, black masculinity and mixed-race identity.

Race/Sex contains many new and provocative insights, such as Berel Lang's construal of racism and sexism as metaphysical stances; Jorge Garcia's argument that racism and sexism are both best understood as "in the heart"; Lewis Gordon's conclusion that in America, "the phallus is white skin"; Naomi Zack's historical analysis of the sexualization of black female race through the monetarization of black maternity; Laurie Shrage's use of queer theory to liberate choices of racial, as well as gender, identity; and John Pittman's presentation of the performative dimensions of black masculinity in Malcolm X's autobiography. Clearly written and insightful, Race/Sex is likely to spark debate and further research in "unified field theory.".

From the supplier: Professor Robert A. Burt suggests that social conflict can be ameliorated by an emphasis on human sameness on the part of social scientists and judges, but such a universal solution has its own dangers. Instead, the relevance of sameness and difference depends on the context. Difference should not be subordinated to sameness as a matter of principle, as Burt suggests. His case for sameness is not justified by moral or descriptive considerations, while his strategic argument is based on a specific paradigm of social conflict that does not apply to all forms of oppression. In some cases, an emphasis on sameness only serves to validate the status quo.
