In this powerful volume, several leading American philosophers examine and critically reassess Frederick Douglass's significance for contemporary social and political thought. Philosophically, Douglass's work sought to establish better ways of thinking especially in the light of his convictions about our humanity and democratic legitimacy - convictions that were culturally and historically shaped by his experience of, and struggle against the institution of American slavery.
