Although much attention has already been paid to Kant’s ideas on race, more research is needed to determine the sources that he used to support his portrayal of non-white races. A comprehension of the intellectual context gives us the opportunity to see the way in which Kant wished to contribute to discussions on inheritable human characteristics and the inferiority of certain races. This article will emphasize the relevance of the views of Joseph Priestley and Alexander Wilson for Kant’s hypothesis on the relation between phlogiston and the black race. This allows us to comprehend the methodology that Kant prescribed for natural history and its consequences for his understanding of the inferiority of the black race.

肤色和燃素伊曼纽尔·康德（Immanuel Kant）在种族背景下的种族主义。

尽管已经非常关注康德的种族观念，但是还需要进行更多的研究来确定他用来支持他对非白人种族的刻画的来源。对理智背景的理解使我们有机会看到康德希望以何种方式为讨论可遗传的人类特征和某些种族的自卑做出贡献。本文将强调约瑟夫·普里斯特利和亚历山大·威尔逊的观点与康德关于火药与黑人种族之间关系的假设有关。这使我们能够理解康德为自然历史规定的方法论及其对他对黑人种族自卑感的理解所产生的后果。
