Abstract
Abstract This article has two purposes. The first speaks to the compatibilist quality of Charles Mills’ Black Radical Kantianism (BRK), its strengths and weaknesses and the pertinence of W. E. B Du Bois to it. BRK turns from Mills’ previous critique of Kantianism as representative of a rassenstaatlich political liberalism, underwritten and tainted by the racial/domination contract, to his current defence of a compatibilist Kantianism as representative of a rechtsstaatlich political liberalism supported by a non-ideal racially corrective critique of both that contract and the kind of political liberalism affiliated with it. The second focuses on what I introduce as the ‘Radicalization of Kant in Black’ (RKB). RKB is not a compatibilist project. Rather it re-examines issues first posed by ‘slave- and black-encoded’ blacks coming to act and struggle with the primacy of practical reason under the historically normative authority of freedom and the abolition of enslavement. What are the ramifications of each for Kant-/Kantian-radicalization?
本文有两个目的。第一部分论述了查尔斯·米尔斯(Charles Mills)的黑人激进康德主义(BRK)的相容主义性质,它的优缺点以及W. E. B .杜波依斯(W. E. B . Du Bois)对它的针对性。BRK从米尔斯之前对康德主义的批判转向了他现在对康德主义的辩护,他认为康德主义代表了一种被种族/统治契约所担保和玷污的、被种族/统治契约所担保和玷污的、被非理想的种族纠正性批判所支持的、被种族/统治契约及其附属的那种政治自由主义所支持的、兼容主义的康德主义。第二个重点是我所介绍的“黑衣康德的激进化”(RKB)。RKB不是一个兼容的项目。相反,它重新审视了最初由“奴隶和黑人编码”黑人提出的问题,这些黑人在自由和废除奴隶制的历史规范权威下,与实践理性的首要地位进行了行动和斗争。康德激进化和康德激进化的分支是什么?
期刊介绍:
The journal aims to publish the best contemporary work on Kant and Kantian issues and places an emphasis on those current philosophical debates which reflect a Kantian influence. Almost all recent Western philosophy makes some reference to the work of Kant, either consciously rejecting or consciously endorsing some aspect of that work. In epistemology, in philosophy of mind and language, in moral and political philosophy, and in aesthetics, such Kantian influences are widely acknowledged and extensively discussed. Kant"s work has also increasingly become a concern for the social and political sciences. The journal strengthens this interest both by establishing interpretations of Kant"s own writing and by discussing the substance of the related current philosophical debates.
