112Should We Take Kant Literally?: On Alleged Racism in Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and SublimePhilosophy and Literature 37 (2): 542-553. 2013.The criticism has been made that Kant looks racist, at least in his early work. This, however, is to insist on a literal reading. I explore Kant’s use of irony and satire as he battles to defend his vision. I show the rhetoric of irony in a pivotal text, looking at what happens and why.
