Meer over het boek

The document explores the often one-sided portrayal of Immanuel Kant in academic settings, particularly regarding his views on women, Afro-Americans, and Jewish minorities. It questions why students are predominantly exposed to Kant's positive contributions while neglecting the more problematic aspects of his philosophy. Additionally, it examines the perspectives of Kant's contemporaries, like Prof Dr Anton Wilhelm Amo, and challenges the notion of Kant as merely a "master of critical thinking," urging a more nuanced understanding of his legacy in the context of gender and race.
