Abstract

This article explores the concept of "black radical Kantianism" (BRK) as a way to address racial subordination in political theory. It argues that Kant's republicanism fails to account for racial inequalities and proposes a reworking of Kantian republicanism called BRK. BRK emphasizes the need for descriptive models of society that acknowledge racial realities and broadens the scope of public judgment. The article also discusses the ideas of W.E.B. Du Bois and his call for political liberties, economic independence, and the redistribution of resources to achieve equal freedom. It concludes by highlighting the importance of abolition democracy in rebuilding a just society. [Extracted from the article]
