Question

An essay by this philosopher opens with a poem calling its title topic “a big subject,” as well as something that presents “itself unblushingly as knowledge.” This philosopher imagines someone saying “How in God’s name could anybody think that this is the appropriate way to do ethics?” in reaction to typical idealized approaches in an essay that praises Onora O’Neill’s emphasis on “the actual.” The articles “‘Ideal Theory’ as Ideology” (15[1])and “White Ignorance” are by this thinker, who argued that the title concept of his major book is a “historical actuality,” in contrast to an analogous (*) “sexual” concept (10[1])developed by (10[1])Carole (10[1])Pateman. (10[2])In a work that diagnoses an “inverted epistemology,” this thinker used a concept from Rousseau (10[1])to explain how “white supremacy (10[1])is the unnamed political system that has made (10[1])the world.” For 10 points, name this Jamaican philosopher who wrote The Racial Contract.
