Abstract

Huaping Lu-Adler’s new book Kant, Race, and Racism: Views from Somewhere confronts the issues of race and racism in Kant’s philosophy directly. In the legacy of Charles Mills, Lu-Adler brings these issues from the margins to the mainstream of philosophical scholarship. This article offers a series of observations on defining racism in relation to Kantian philosophy, how much we have yet to learn from interdisciplinary scholarship, and how our attachment to philosophical rigor may have made us complicit in white supremacy.
