Abstract
This discussion explores the significance of Kant's silence on the Haitian Revolution. In contrast, Kant was not silent about the French Revolution, and he also went to great lengths to publish his work on religion, which was seen as controversial. I argue that Kant's silence on the Haitian Revolution demonstrates his complicity with the status quo regarding the independence and rights of people of color. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
