Abstract

The article explores an alleged racism by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant in "Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime." It examines reasons for Kant to parody Scottish philosopher David Hume on the concept of species in the cultural context of his time. It also suggests that Kant admired the satirical skill of the English poet Alexander Pope in "Essay of Man."
