Warren intervenes in Afro-pessimism, Heideggerian metaphysics, and black humanist philosophy by positing that the "Negro question" is intimately imbricated with questions of Being. Warren uses the figure of the antebellum free black as a philosophical paradigm for thinking through the tensions between blackness and Being. He illustrates how blacks embody a metaphysical nothing. This nothingness serves as a destabilizing presence and force as well as that which whiteness defines itself against. Thus, the function of blackness as giving form to nothing presents a terrifying problem for whites: they need blacks to affirm their existence, even as they despise the nothingness they represent. By pointing out how all humanism is based on investing blackness with nonbeing - a logic which reproduces antiblack violence and precludes any realization of equality, justice, and recognition for blacks - Warren urges the removal of the human from its metaphysical pedestal and the exploration of ways of existing that are not predicated on a grounding in being. 606 $aRace$xPolitical aspects 606 $aRacism 606 $aRace awareness 606 $aBlack people$xRace identity 606 $aNihilism (Philosophy) 606 $aOntology 615 0$aRace$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aRacism. 615 0$aRace awareness. 615 0$aBlack people$xRace identity. 615 0$aNihilism (Philosophy) 615 0$aOntology. 676 $a305.8 700 $aWarren$b Calvin L.$f1980-$0952066 801 0$bNDD 801 1$bNDD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910269349103321 996 $aOntological terror$92152417 997 $aUNINA
