Abstract

The article discusses the complexities and challenges of defining the history of philosophy, questioning traditional assumptions and myths surrounding the field. It highlights recent changes in the mainstream history of philosophy, emphasizing the need for a transformative approach that challenges existing narratives and diversifies the canon. The text provides a critical analysis of an inclusive anthology of primary sources, using the example of a proslavery perspective from the Haitian Revolution to illustrate the limitations of an additive approach to inclusivity in philosophy. The article aims to encourage readers to reexamine their understanding of the history of philosophy and consider more transformative and diverse perspectives. [Extracted from the article]
