Description

This scholarly investigation explores the intellectual origins of racial categorization within the framework of early modern philosophy. Justin E. H. Smith meticulously examines how thinkers from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries grappled with the concepts of human nature and biological difference, tracing the transition from pre-modern taxonomies to the emergence of modern racial theory.
