Abstract
ABSTRACT This essay reconsiders Kant’s “Analogies of Experience” in The Critique of Pure Reason to show how Kant’s grounding of perception in temporally understood cause and effect helps to institutionalize a racialized grammar that continues in globalization today. Kant’s proof establishes subjective and non-subjective beings in a hierarchical cause and effect relation which is also a consecutive relation in time. One can recognize in Kant’s procedures a logic that underlies enlightenment notions of history, race, and globalization. Tracing Kant’s logic can help us to see how race is embedded in interlocking pieces of the apparatus of universal exchange, even where it is not named.
