In this article, I discuss and critique how metaphysicians of race have conceived of and defended racial realism according to how biologists use “race”. I start by defining “racial realism” in the broadest accepted way in the metaphysics of race. Next, I summarize a representative sample of recent attempts from metaphysicians of race and biologists to defend racial realism and the main criticisms against each attempt. I discuss how metaphysicians of race have defended racial realism according to how ordinary people use “race” in Part II.

种族现实主义I：生物种族是真实的吗？

在本文中，我将讨论和批评种族的形而上学家如何根据生物学家如何使用“种族”来构想和捍卫种族现实主义。我首先以种族形而上学中最广泛接受的方式定义“种族现实主义”。接下来，我总结了最近来自种族形而上学的生物学家和生物学家为捍卫种族现实主义和针对每种尝试的主要批评而进行的尝试的代表性样本。我将根据第二部分中普通人如何使用“种族”来讨论种族的形而上学家如何捍卫种族现实主义。
