Scientific Racism

Scientific Racism, also known as Race Realism or Racialism, is the belief that some races are inherently superior to others, based on supposed scientific evidence. In philosophy, scientific racism has been a dominant theory throughout history, with many prominent philosophers endorsing racist ideas and theories.

For example, some philosophers, such as Immanuel Kant, believed that non-white races were inferior to white Europeans, and that it was morally justifiable to colonize and subjugate them. Other philosophers, such as Arthur de Gobineau, developed theories of racial hierarchy, arguing that the white race was superior to all others.

Today, these ideas are widely discredited and rejected by the philosophical community, as well as by the broader scientific community. However, the legacy of scientific racism continues to have profound effects on contemporary social and political issues, including racism, discrimination, and inequality. As such, it remains an important area of study and critique in philosophy and related fields.
