Inhaltsangabe

Levin (philosophy, U. of New York) argues that measured differences between races are not neutral but undermine just about everything that has been said about race for the past 60 years and the public policies that are based on the assertion that they are. Focusing primarily but not exclusively on the US, he summarizes differences in intelligence and temperament, genetic factors, determinism, reductionism, reification, values, and the implications for justice and crime.
