Book Reviews of Race and the Enlightenment: A Reader
Book Review: A Must For Professors, and Students of Philosophy
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book in my African-American Philosophy class. I couldn't believe the writings of Hume, Kant and Hegel. I never stop to think that their philosophical systems were exclusive to Europeans. The Enlightenment philosophiers attitudes were shaped by travelers stories, geographical location, and lack of understanding about other cultures besides their own. Hegel give a justification for "colonialsim" and "imperialism" that will "knock your socks off." Kant and Hume recognizes Africas as "inferior to whites."
This book is a must for philosophiers. I believe it will help students to understand the "exclusive" and arrogant attitudes of Enlightenment philosophiers.
