Kant on Race

The second full chapter of J. Kameron Carter's Race: A Theological Account is a discuss of Immanuel Kant's views on race, which are pretty damning.  As Carter unpacks it, Kant developed a thorough anthropology of white supremacy which is intimately tied with Kant's views on the autonomous individual and his religious views.  Kant, of course, is a leading figure of the Enlightenment.  Which reminds you that they still had much to be enlightened about.

So far the first two chapters, though being very smart and thorough, have not held out the promise of the prologue -- in the sense that they have not captivated me as much as it did.
