Answer the following questions on one of the essays on the early science of race
assigned questions will often require that you demonstrate knowledge of the
reading assignment and explanations made by the authors. Your answers should
reflect your engagement with these ideas and analysis of arguments when
necessary.
Choose one of the essays assigned this week by one of the scientists of race (Blumenbach, Galton or de Gobineau) and answer the following:
1. Methodological Problem: In what respects is the essay you are writing about legitimately scientific in its methodology? In what respects does it depart from legitimate scientific methodology? Be specific and give examples in your answer.
2. Question: What, if anything, do you find morally objectionable and/or racist about the essay you have chosen? Explain your answer.
Note: Your summary/analysis should demonstrate you’ve read authors (listed above) from our The Idea of Race. This means more than just summarizing what Blum has to say about them.
