LU-ADLER, H., Kant, Race, and Racism. Views from Somewhere. Oxford University Press, 2023. 424p. Hardback. Kant, Race and Racism locates Kant's theory of races in his philosophical system and demonstrates how his understanding of scientific theories enabled the introduction of a systematic concept of race that could structure attitudes and practices. The book also details Kant's role in excluding non-Western authors from the philosophical canon. In a forward-looking conclusion, Huaping Lu-Adler explains how, with a better understanding of what Kant did, current scholars can use some aspects of his moral theory to try to undo vestiges of his unfortunate legacy on the question of race. Anyone who teaches Kant's ethics should find time to read this illuminating and comprehensive study of his institutional role in diminishing the prospects of members of non-White races.
