The relationship between race and culture in Enlightenment thought

Meer over het boek

Exploring the interconnection between race and culture, this seminar paper analyzes the anthropological and philosophical perspectives of four influential German scholars: Immanuel Kant, Johann Gottfried Herder, Christoph Meiners, and Johann Friedrich Blumenbach. It delves into how their writings reflect the complexity of human behavior, social practices, and civilizational expressions. The study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of these concepts as they evolved in the context of the Middle Ages and Early Modern Age.
