Анализируется дискуссия вокруг дискриминирующего изображения неевропейских рас в антропологических работах Канта. В первой части дан краткий обзор мест у Кан-та, во второй рассматривается ход и промежуточные результаты дискуссии, а в третьей обращается внимание на те выводы, которые представляются наиболее важными из исторической, практической и теоретико-философской перспективы. The article focuses on the origins and history of the academic and public discussion on the discriminatory depiction of non-European races in the anthropological works of Immanuel Kant. The first part contains a brief analysis of key works and passages that are at the core of the discussion: fragments of lectures on anthropology and physical geography, Kant’s minor works of the 1770s and 1780s (Of the Different Races of Human Beings, Determination of the Concept of a Human Race, On the Use of Teleological Principles in Philosophy) and the paragraph on races in Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View. In the second part, I outline the main arguments of the three stages of the discussion, starting with the acknowledging of the problem by academic scholars in the 1990s and ending with the recent debates in German mass media in the summer of 2020. While providing a critical account of the arguments of scholars participating in the discussion (which can be roughly divided into two groups or interpretative strategies), I also present my point of view: there are, indeed, racist statements and classifications in Kant’s minor works and lectures, although they do not affect the main elements of his critical philosophy; in his late works of the 1790s, Kant abandons his discriminatory approach to the description of races in the light of his idea of cosmopolitanism. In the final part, I present some aspects, results and possible conclusions from the discussion on Kant’s concept of race that I deem to be important for historians of philosophy and those interested in classical European philosophy. In this regard, I distinguish three key aspects of the problem: the historical aspect which concerns the genesis of Kant’s anthropology in general and his idea of race in particular; the practical aspect which relates to the question on our view of Kant’s texts and ideas as subjects of teaching and study; the theoretical-philosophical aspect concerning the evolution of Kant’s anthropological ideas and the role of the concept of race in Kant’s practical philosophy. My key argument here is that while there is explicit evidence that some of Kant’s remarks on different races can be called racist from our contemporary point of view, we cannot use this evidence as an argument against Kant’s anthropology as a whole or as a basis for any restriction of studying Kant’s texts in the academic curriculum.
