摘要

摘要:本文表明约翰·戈特利布·斯蒂布支持康德种族理论的不同方面。尽管对康德的种族和生物学理论的研究越来越多，但人们发现在这些解释中没有提到斯蒂布。然而，他的工作是相关的，因为他在1785年试图将康德的预形成主义术语与Blumenbach的表观遗传理论综合起来。本文旨在理解这种综合。最近对康德的解释假定，预形成论排除了表观发生。但是早在1785年，Steeb就看到了将康德的细菌整合到一个很大程度上由Blumenbach主导的话语中的可能性。Steeb的综合理论主要意味着细菌和种族的概念可以根据Blumenbach对人类多样性的理解进行修正。

Johann Gottlieb Steeb on Human Diversity: Synthesizing Kant and Blumenbach

Abstract:This article shows that Johann Gottlieb Steeb supported different aspects of Kant's theory of race. Despite the growing research on Kant's racial and biological theory, one finds no mention of Steeb in these interpretations. However, his work is relevant because of his attempt in 1785 to synthesize Kant's preformationist terminology with Blumenbach's epigenetic theory. This article aims at understanding this synthesis. Recent interpreters of Kant presuppose that preformationism excluded epigenesis. But already in 1785 Steeb saw the possibility of integrating Kant's germs into a discourse that was to a large extent dominated by Blumenbach. Steeb's synthesis primarily implied that the concepts of germs and race could be amended to Blumenbach's understanding of human diversity.

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.
