Caught between character and race : 'temperament' in Kant's lectures on anthropology

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Focusing on Immanuel Kant’s lectures on anthropology, the essay endeavours to address long-standing concerns regarding both the relationship between these empirical investigations and Kant’s better-known universalism, and more pressingly, between Kant’s own racism on display in the lectures, and his simultaneous promotion of a universal moral theory that would unhesitatingly condemn such attitudes.
