Hume, Racism, and Slavery: A Rejoinder to Ian Stewart

This rejoinder responds to Ian Stewart's reply to my research note in this issue of Scottish Affairs. I clarify that the brunt of my criticisms are aimed at the University of Edinburgh Race Review as a whole, not Dr Stewart in particular. Further, the problem of the misrepresentation of David Hume's views on race and slavery still stands, despite Dr Stewart's disagreement with me.

Abstract

This rejoinder responds to Ian Stewart's reply to my research note in this issue of Scottish Affairs. I clarify that the brunt of my criticisms are aimed at the University of Edinburgh Race Review as a whole, not Dr Stewart in particular. Further, the problem of the misrepresentation of David Hume's views on race and slavery still stands, despite Dr Stewart's disagreement with me.
