＜p＞＜strong＞"A standard reference in the scholarly literature on racism." -＜em＞Pierre-Andr? Taguieff＜/em＞＜br /＞ "In the light of the facts brought together in this volume, we see the immense amount of nonsense connected with the racial theories of peoples....On the ruins, therefore, of the falsehood of races, solidarity and true equality arise, both founded on a rational sentiment of respect for human dignity." -＜em＞Jean Finot＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Jean Finot (1858 - 1922) was a French journalist, sociologist and author. He is known for his opposition to racist (or racialist ) theories, notably through his 1905 work Le Pr?jug? des Races. His book was translated into English by Florence Wade-Evans＜br /＞ (1876 ? 1953) and published in 1907 under the title of "Race Prejudice."＜/p＞ ＜p＞Journalist, director of the Review of Journals from 1892 to 1922 and sociologist, Finot was one of the few French intellectuals of the early twentieth century to oppose radically racist theories to scientific claim and to social Darwinism which were then supported in particular by Vacher de Lapouge, Charles Richet , Gobineau or Chamberlain.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Finot describes human variability as continuous and borderless and highlights the extent of crossbreeding, disqualifying the notion of race. He thus opposes "a kind of pseudo-science" based on "the differences in measurements of the skull, the thickness or fineness of the limbs, the color of the hair, etc. To "problematic laws, unexamined facts, and unjustifiable generalizations."＜/p＞ ＜p＞He attacks the theories of "scientific racism" which he accuses of presenting himself as dogmas for salvation and "infallible guides for humanity". He thus becomes a figurehead of what has been called "the scientific revolt against racism", "pseudo-science suggested as an objective foundation of inequality between men" whose scientific bases he tries to dismantle.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Jean Finot was one of the organizers of the first universal race congress held in London in 1911.＜/p＞ ＜p＞African-American author Joel Augustus Rogers frequently refers to Finot in his famous 1917 book "From Superman to Man."＜/p＞ ＜p＞One passage about Finot's book reads as follows:＜/p＞ ＜p＞"The porter, his duties finished, sought the more comfortable warmth of the smoker, where he intended to resume the reading of the book he had brought with him, Finot's 'Race Prejudice.' He had been reading last of the Germans and their doctrine of the racial inferiority of the remainder of the white race."＜/p＞ ＜p＞Another passage states:＜/p＞ ＜p＞"The subject of the book came up again, "I remember the great stir it created when it appeared," said the passenger. "Finot＜br /＞ has rendered a great service to humanity. He well deserves the honor conferred on him ー Officer of the Legion of Honor."＜br /＞ "Yes. He has been rightly called one of the makers of modern France."＜/p＞ ＜p＞Throughout Roger's book Finot is frequently cited as an authority settling points of contention in arguments about racialism.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
