Kant, racism, colonialism, sexism, recognition, non-ideal critical theoriesAbstract
Although Kant has been regarded the modern representative of Eurocentrism, racism and sexism, I propose to argue that in his theory of ethical and juridical recognition are the keys to rescue a consistent position with the defense of a philosophy of freedom, equality and plurality. To this end, in the first part, I consider the panorama of the criticisms and interpretations directed at Kant regarding the different forms of oppression, to recover the reasons for not to discard his philosophy as a possible starting point to think of a front against them. Then, in the second part, I develop the Kantian theory of juridical and ethical-political recognition as a double front against the various forms of oppression, and I deepen it from non-ideal critical theories to think with Kant and beyond Kant.
