		Locke returned to the United States in 1911, and in 1912 joined the faculty of Howard University as a professor of philosophy and English, a position he held for the rest of his life.

	Alain Locke
		Locke takes the position that value relativism is an extension of the observable fact that different cultures have different values and understandings of the world.
		Chief among the responsibilities and possibilities of adult education in the Negro community is the advancement of group solidarity and the improvement of the "attitudinal" outlook of Negroes away from a condition of depression and dependence to a condition of hope and possibility.
		Locke argues that group solidarity and uplift of morale is as important as the improvement of general knowledge and skill for Negro adult education.

		Locke argues that a trans-cultural communication of aesthetic values is vital for culturally diverse democratic societies for whom cross-cultural exchange and understanding is necessary in order to avoid conflict among different cultural groups.
		Locke sees himself as carrying on James’ fight by concretizing the “vital connection between pluralism and democracy” that is hinted at in the older pragmatist’s work.
		Locke urges us to walk a difficult line regarding education; on the one hand fostering in a deep love of her cultural heritage while at the same time making her see that while her culture is the most meaningful for her, it is still only one of many that deserves respect.

	Alain Locke's Sociocultural Conception of Race
		I turn now to examine Alain Locke’s conception of race to correct Appiah’s unwarranted and premature ejection of race from what he considers to be the rigorous domain of formal analysis.
		One central theme in Locke’s thinking, a theme articulated within the context of his axiological view and that extends to other areas of inquiry, is the idea that sociocultural concepts need not correspond to an independently existing reality in order to acquire validity within the context of human life.

	Global Mappings: Alain Locke
		Alain Leroy Locke was born in Philadelphia on September 13, 1885.
		Alain Locke is closely associated with the Harlem Renaissance and the idea of the 'New Negro.' He edited a book entitled The New Negro in 1925 (which started life as a special issue of Survey Graphic, a magazine of sociology) that featured many of the rising stars of the Harlem Renaissance.

	APA Newsletters 98:1 - Alain Locke and the Language of World Solidarity
		Locke hoped that artists could achieve the world peace or common civilization that politicians were unable to bring about, and, in the words of Eugene Holmes, "that the reciprocity and tolerance which might emerge once there was a genuine sense of value-sharing would lead to integration in a real direction" (Holmes 1957, 118).
		Depending on the interpretation one takes of Locke’s dichotomy between the cultural and the social or political, the effects might be a cultural world solidarity but a dominant political body drawing on a single linguistic culture (in other words, a bifurcated existence), or perhaps an elaborate cultural-linguistic stance that requires political implementation of multilingual institutions.
		To explicate this paradox, Locke introduced the distinction between "involuntary segregation" and "voluntary exclusiveness." As Washington explains, "Involuntary segregation is the result of certain practices and policies, usually maliciously imposed by the dominant group on its minority group, to oppress members of the minority group.

	Alain Locke (1885-1954)
		One particular point of interest is Locke's own educational background; students want to know what it was like for an African-American at Oxford, and they are also generally interested in learning about the milieu at Harvard in the early 1900s.
		Perhaps not without irony, Locke humbly referred to himself as the "midwife" of a generation of writers and artists who would be responsible for Harlem's renaissance.
		Locke's essay works well alongside Du Bois's "Of Our Spiritual Strivings" (chapter I of The Souls of Black Folk); Langston Hughes's "When the Negro Was in Vogue"; Johnson's The Autobiography of an ex-colored Man.

		It aims to capture the radical implications of Locke's approach within pragmatism, the critical temper embedded in Locke's works, the central role of power and empowerment of the oppressed, and the concept of broad democracy Locke employed.
		Arguing that the school of thought Locke initiated is best described as "critical pragmatism", the well-known philosopher and Locke scholar, Leonard Harris, provides a clear and thorough introduction to Locke's thought that will be useful to students and scholars alike.
		Locke's critical pragmatism arguably avoids the pitfalls of critical theory, anticipates its tremendous contribution to human liberation, and offers an alternative to the limitations of classical pragmatism.
