• G. E. M. Anscombe élève de

  élève de

  Taylor’s biography at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna names Anscombe, with Isaiah Berlin, as supervisor of his Oxford DPhil (1961), the basis of The Explanation of Behaviour (1964); other accounts name Berlin alone, so her formal role is uncertain.

• Frantz Fanon

  influencé par

  In “The Politics of Recognition” (1992) Taylor named Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth (1961) as an influential source of the idea that misrecognition oppresses: the colonisers’ chief weapon was imposing their image of the colonised on the subjugated – a reading Coulthard later turned against Taylor with Fanon. C. Taylor, “The Politics of Recognition”, in A. Gutmann (ed.), Multiculturalism and “The Politics of Recognition” (1992); G. S. Coulthard, Red Skin, White Masks (2014), ch. 1
