- 요약This dissertation focuses on issues in the unexplored area of Asian American social and political philosophy. Its constituent essays illustrate that greater scholarly attention to that area is worthwhile for at least two reasons. First, various forms of stigma and disadvantage that beset Asian Americans are similar to, though importantly different from, the sorts that affect other minorities in the U.S. This distinctive social location gives rise to issues that call for serious philosophical engagement. Second, the standpoints of Asian Americans are helpful for theorizing concepts-such as culture, domination, race neutrality, and solidarity-of interest to social and political philosophers."Asian Americans, Negative Action, and Racial Indirection" seeks to determine the morally optimal way of responding to recent Asian American opposition against measures for increasing racial equity in educational access. Inspired by Derrick Darby's defense of "postracial remedies," I argue that the morally best response acknowledges that race-based educational access barriers remain. However, it seeks to address those barriers primarily through race-neutral policies of a specific sort. Namely, they are ones that-despite not issuing race-specific directives-disproportionately improve educational access for Asian Americans and other people of color in a highly transparent way."The Racial Triangulation of Asian Americans as a Basis for Afro-Asian Solidarity: A Civic Republican Defense," draws on work in the African American civic republican tradition and sociologist Claire Jean Kim's influential racial triangulation framework. I argue that Blacks and Asian Americans morally ought to cultivate a form of Afro-Asian solidarity that helps dismantle cultural elements highlighted by Kim's framework that raise the vulnerability of both Blacks and Asian Americans to racial domination. I also argue that such Afro-Asian solidarity is congenial to socialist civic republicanism.I argue in "Pan-Asian Solidarity in Asian America: A Moral Philosophical Conception," that the ethical value of forging pan-Asian solidarity among Asian Americans stems from how it promotes three things: morally desirable preservation of Asian cultures, ethnoracial self-respect and self-esteem among Asian Americans, and political engagement among Asian Americans. I also argue that the ethical value of such solidarity makes Asian Americans pro tanto morally obligated to forge it.
