Abstract

Abstract:Against the backdrop of the current “geological turn,” the article sheds light on the ways in which the earth has been articulated through strategies of temporalization and territorialization in the context of modern philosophical race discourse. The author first reconstructs the constitution of a “geographic imagination” as it emerged in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The first part focuses on the role of geography in Kant’s theory of race, and Alexander von Humboldt’s project of plant geography. In the second part, the author discusses Henrik Steffens’s account of race. In the third part, the author turns to Heidegger, who rearticulated the “geographic imagination” in the first decades of the twentieth century. The article concludes that a critical theory of nature relations needs to overcome the semantic connections between conceptualizations of the earth and the modern race discourse that haunt contemporary ecological thinking

地质政治化:现代哲学种族话语中对地球和历史的阐释
摘要:在当前“地质转折”的背景下,本文揭示了在现代哲学种族话语中,地球是如何通过时间化和地域化策略来表达的。作者首先重建了18世纪末和19世纪初出现的“地理想象”的构成。第一部分着重论述了地理学在康德种族理论中的作用,以及洪堡的植物地理学计划。在第二部分中,作者讨论了亨里克·斯蒂芬斯对种族的描述。第三部分,作者转向二十世纪前几十年重新表述“地理想象”的海德格尔。文章的结论是,一个关于自然关系的批判性理论需要克服困扰当代生态思维的地球概念化和现代种族话语之间的语义联系

期刊介绍: The critical philosophy of race consists in the philosophical examination of issues raised by the concept of race, the practices and mechanisms of racialization, and the persistence of various forms of racism across the world. Critical philosophy of race is a critical enterprise in three respects: it opposes racism in all its forms; it rejects the pseudosciences of old-fashioned biological racialism; and it denies that anti-racism and anti-racialism summarily eliminate race as a meaningful category of analysis. Critical philosophy of race is a philosophical enterprise because of its engagement with traditional philosophical questions and in its readiness to engage critically some of the traditional answers.
