Kant Theory Of Race Essay
KANT’S THEORY OF ORIGIN OF RACE
The question of ‘race’ is a difficult one because everyone describe race from their own perspective. During the 18th century classification of types of human being are begin done. Kant was the first person who gave scientific classification of race. He established the difference between ‘varieties’ or ‘types’ and ‘races’. Kant further said that race is hereditary characteristic which is passed on to offspring while the characteristic of ‘varieties’ is not hereditary and did not pass through generations. For Kant race of humanity are not different species as they are capable of producing fertile offspring through interbreeding. Kant did not support polygenesis. He further said that races are deviate forms within …show more content…
The difference lies in nature make this distinct. He demanding the careful separation of one activity to another because he think these are totally heterogeneous. Kant said human have the ability to adapt which he describes as a ‘seed’. He describes the seeds as natural predisposition for example the birds of the same species which are living in different climates, have the seed for the development of a new layer of feathers. These feathers when they lived in cold climate and goes down in hot climate. These hidden feature help them in migration and transplantation and such migration and transplantation believe that new species has arisen while they belong to same common stock. These are nothing but deviation and seed of the same race genus. Human were created in such a way so he can endure in every climate and every condition of land. These seed and predisposition seem to be inborn and goes through ongoing process of reproduction. The sun and air that influences the most reproductive power and seem to produce lasting effects on development of the seeds and natural predisposition. The reproductive power responsible for it source but not for maintenance of life. Kant further said that diversity of the genus on the basic of these race could be understood and for this we must need lineal root genus. But we can’t find lineal root genus now because we can’t find original human
