About this listen

The Metaphysics of Race: An Ontological Inquiry into Identity, Power, and Difference Race is more than a social or political construct—it is a metaphysical force that shapes how we understand being, difference, and identity.

In The Metaphysics of Race, Aeon Timaeus Crux embarks on a profound philosophical journey, exploring the ontological foundations of race and how it operates within the structures of power, identity, and embodiment.

This audiobook dives deep into the metaphysical dimensions of race, asking: What does it mean to exist as a racialized being? How does race influence not just social hierarchies, but the very essence of one's being?

Crux engages with critical thinkers like Frantz Fanon, Michel Foucault, and W.E.B. Du Bois, while challenging traditional notions of race with a fresh metaphysical lens. Through philosophical rigor and existential exploration, the book confronts race as both a tool of power and a site of resistance, exploring its impact on selfhood, freedom, and difference.

The Metaphysics of Race tackles race’s persistence in shaping identity, social relations, and power structures in today’s world. From colonial legacies and structural oppression to the role of technology and genetic engineering in the future of racial identity, Crux presents a forward-thinking analysis that looks both backward and ahead.

Whether grappling with biopolitics, embodiment, or the ethics of racial modification, this book provides a compelling vision of how race operates as a fundamental aspect of human existence.

For those seeking a deeper understanding of race beyond the typical sociopolitical conversations, The Metaphysics of Race offers a rigorous examination of the philosophical, ontological, and existential implications of race in the modern world.

This audiobook is essential listening for philosophers, critical thinkers, and anyone interested in reimagining the role of race in shaping both individual identity and collective humanity.
