Degeneration, Raciality, Black adamAbstract
Our text proposes an attempt to better understand the meaning of the notion of degeneration (Degeneration, Ausartung) in Schopenhauer and to contrast it with Kant's thought (Ausartung) regarding the themes of variation and degeneration from a racial perspective, highlighting that the philosophers exhibit important contrasts concerning how both view human value based on the ideas of raciality, purity, and miscegenation.
